A chance meeting with a first love, oceans away from where it all started, after more than a decade apart. Seeing Alexis again sends Skylar reeling. Their love always felt like it could have lasted a lifetime. After all, there is nobody quite like Alexis Clarke. At least not for Skylar. Skylar’s life before Alexis was a vicious routine of survival. Avoiding triggers that could set off her mother’s wrath, searching for the perfection needed to earn her parents’ love, and making new scars to deal with old wounds. Enter Alexis, a senior in Havenford High, a light keeping all of Skylar’s darkness at bay. A light that was suddenly extinguished. Until now. Alexis is back, and the promise of their love can finally be fulfilled. But as Skylar is soon to discover—loving someone may be easy, holding on to a love that can save you is something else altogether.
