Amazon Top 20 Bestseller Book 1 of 3 in the series Kate Sedgwick's life has been anything but typical. She's endured hardship and tragedy, but throughout it all she remains happy and optimistic (there's a reason her best friend Gus calls her Bright Side). She's quick witted, endlessly passionate about music, the first to offer a smile, and the kind of loyal that most friends only dream about. The one thing that escapes her optimism is love. She's never bought into it, never believed in it. So, when Kate leaves San Diego to attend college in the small town of Grant, Minnesota, the last thing she expects is to fall hard for Keller Banks. They both feel it. But they each have a reason to fight it. They each have a secret. And when secrets are revealed, they may heal you, or they may end you. Note from the author: due to strong language and sexual content, this book is recommended for mature audiences.
