First rule of breakups: There’s no going back.
For three years, seventeen-year-old Grace Evers has regretted breaking up with Sage Castle.
That day, she lost her boyfriend and best friend. And let's be honest, it's impossible to just be friends with the one person who gets you, faults and all, and loved you anyway. It's impossible not to think about how it felt to be held by him, or the way he looked right before he was about to kiss you with the most perfectly yummy kiss goodnight.
And now that things are over between them, they've become strangers to one another. Sage won’t even look at Grace, let alone talk to her!
Breakup life sucks and Grace is utterly miserable, doing whatever she can to ease the pain of losing Sage. She's spent the better part of high school pretending to be something she’s not and hanging out with people who probably wouldn't notice if she wasn't there. Crappy dates, backstabbing friends, and Sage's cold shoulder have taken their toll.
So when her parents propose going away to their house on Lake Michigan for the summer, Grace is thrilled. No more massively bad dates with horrible kissers or lunch with frienemies. Just three months of swimming, hiking, and relaxing before senior year starts.
But when Grace learns Sage and his family will be joining them, she readies herself for a totally awkward family vacation of disastrous proportions. How can it be anything but awful if Sage won't even acknowledge she exists?
This is it, Grace's last chance to get Sage back and unbreakup.
Excerpt~
“Here you go. Signed. Sealed. Delivered.” Lyncee
handed me back my yearbook. “You have to wait until you get home to read it.”
“Oh great, what’d you put in here? I hope you didn’t mention anything about me
dropping my cell in the toilet.” She laughed. “No. Something better.” I
groaned. Her idea of something better meant it could be
anything from embarrassing to, well, more
embarrassing. I smoothed down my jean skirt and spun my locker combination for
the last time of junior year. Next year, we’d be seniors. We’d have our last
homecoming and prom. We’d rule the school and all that crap. To be honest, I
was ready to be done with school. Leave the idiots behind. I’d spent the last
three years pretending to be someone I wasn’t just to fit in. Lyncee was my
only real friend to survive my breakup with Sage. Sage. We hadn’t talked since
the end of eighth grade. The day I broke
up with him. He’d stopped picking up my calls
and when his parents came over to play cards with mine, he’d stay home. He
avoided me at school, online, at soccer tournaments. It was like he’d
completely erased me from his life. I never meant to hurt him like that. The
truth was, I missed him. A lot. It sucked not having anyone to talk to about
the Star Wars marathon they played on Memorial Day, or the new Hobbit trailer,
or about the awesome pair of soccer cleats I wanted to get. Not that Lyncee
wasn’t there for me, she was, just not in the same way.
Needless to say, I’d spent the last three years
regretting mine and Sage’s breakup. I’d trade anything, even my popularity, to
have him back. The thing was, I was running out of time to make things right.
I’d tried getting over him, but there were some people you just couldn’t leave
behind.
