In Our Bones

Juneau (Juno) has always come in second; second to her perfect sister, and second to her beautiful best friend, Kansas. Bonded over having weird names, the two quickly became fast friends in kindergarten. From there started a friendship that would last a lifetime, only tested by the one thing that always manages to get between girls: a boy.

Caspian, named after the Caspian Sea, goes only by his last name, Booker. He's quiet and brooding, dark-haired with honeyed golden eyes, like a tiger stalking in the night. Kansas has always been in love with him, and for most of her youth, Juno just thought he had cooties. The three are thick as thieves, best friends from elementary school, and for a while, everything seems fine.

Until Kansas and Booker start dating in high school, which, in the natural course of things, doesn't seem too bad, does it? Except Booker is in love with Juno. Booker has always been in love with Juno.

So why does he marry Kansas? And why does it take Juno until then to realize she's in love with him too?
