"Five years. That's how long I've been gone. Since I left my best friend--the girl I loved--behind. Five seconds. That was how long it takes to realize I am completely, utterly, screwed. Because now that I'm back, my childhood crush has turned into so much more. Rylee has changed. We both have. And now I'm drawn to her in a completely different way. To her smile. Her touch. To reliving old memories and making new ones. To the happiness she's always given me that I haven't felt since I left. But her friends are hell-bent on keeping us apart. My dad is one drink away from destroying both of our lives, and maybe I am, too. It's only a matter of time before I have to leave again, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. I never get a choice. The one choice I can make? Stay away from Rylee. Because if I don't, I'll break her heart--and mine--all over again."--p.[4] of cover
