Publisher Description
From Wattpad phenom Sarah White comes a steamy teen romance about one girl’s quest to find herself after a traumatic breakup.
The only thing worse than having your boyfriend dump you is having him dump you for your best friend. For Everly Morgan the betrayal came out of nowhere. One moment she had what seemed like the perfect high school relationship, and the next, she wanted to avoid the two most important people in her life. Every time she sees them kiss in the hallways her heart breaks a little more.
The last thing on Everly’s mind is getting into another relationship, but when she meets Gabe in her therapist’s waiting room she can’t deny their immediate connection. Somehow he seems to understand Everly in a way that no one else in her life does, and maybe it’s because Gabe also has experience grappling with issues outside of his control. Just because they share so many of the same interests and there is an undeniable spark between them doesn’t mean Everly wants anything more than friendship. After all, when you only barely survived your last breakup, is it really worth risking your heart again?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Everly Morgan thought that her senior year would be filled with fun times with her boyfriend, Brady, and best friend, Elle. That changes when she finds the two of them in a compromising position and learns that most of her friends were aware of the betrayal. To deal with her depression and anxiety, Everly starts seeing a therapist every Tuesday, which is where she meets Gabe, a classmate she has never noticed before. Even though Everly has sworn off love, her attraction to Gabe is undeniable. White, who has built up a following on Wattpad for her Rookie in Love series and other stories, knows how to put together a steamy romantic scene, though she often dips into clich d turns of phrase ("I feel my lips curl up into a smile"). The novel attempts to tackle some serious issues, particularly regarding mental health, but it lacks much of an emotional punch, especially when Everly's concerns turn to whether she'll have fun during spirit week or get the "promposal" of her dreams. Ages 14 up.)
