Synopsis

An emotional and heartfelt contemporary YA romance from the author of Everything I Promised You, exploring the complicated nature of grief, family, growing up, and the beauty of second chances.
Piper and her older sister could not be more different. Tati assumed guardianship when their parents died, and in Tati’s eyes, Piper is a troublemaker with no direction. Piper knows what she wants, but it isn’t the buttoned-up life that her sister has in mind. Usually, Piper can lean on her best friend...except they aren’t speaking, just when Piper could really use a confidant.
Escaping to their apartment complex’s pool for some space, Piper is stunned to see Henry. Her Henry. The boy who, three years ago, she met at this same pool. Together, they walked the beach and shared a kiss. It was a perfect night. Then she never saw or heard from him again.
Henry is back in Florida to spend time with a dad he barely knows and escape the tangled relationship he left at home. Fate has brought Piper and Henry back together when their lives are the most complicated. With no one to depend on but each other, Piper and Henry must confront their painful pasts and the tumultuous present. Is this the start of another goodbye or a second chance at love?

4.5 stars Katy's writing is just so beautiful and draws you right in.
