A raw and emotional standalone novel in the interconnected "You" series by Elin Kind
"A gritty, gut-wrenching love story that will break your heart and put it back together again." -Reader Review
Josie:
I've loved Nate for as long as I can remember. But to him, I'm just the good girl next door-his best friend's sister who writes songs she's too scared to share. My life's a mess, and I'm torn between following the safe path my parents want for me or risking everything for dreams that leave me feeling more lost than ever.
Then one night on our friend's back porch, everything changes. Nate looks at me like he's seeing me for the first time, and suddenly, the years of one-sided longing don't seem so impossible. But getting close to Nate means risking my heart, and I'm not sure I'm ready to handle what happens if I lose him.
Nate:
I've always known I'm no good for her. Josie's the kind of girl who deserves more-a girl who's never had to question her worth. But I've spent my life moving from one foster home to another, learning not to get attached. Josie's always been off-limits, but that night on the porch, I let my guard down, and now I can't get her out of my head.
I thought leaving town to join a band would help me forget the mess I've made. But no matter how far I run, Josie's the one who makes me feel like I belong. The problem is, I'm not sure I'm strong enough to keep her-and I'm terrified I'll ruin everything if I try.
In this raw, slow-burn romance, Josie and Nate must face their fears and decide if they're willing to fight for the love they never expected-or if they'll let it slip away.
