OUT FOR REVENGE. IN IT FOR LOVE.
Small-town scandals, explosive secrets and friendship fallouts threaten to tear Clara and Reid apart - all over again . . .
Reid Rousseau was always a winner. Now, he's a former state champion runner with an injury no one can know about and a college scholarship on the line. When he's invited as the guest of honor for Legacy Weekend, a competitive tradition that welcomes high school alumni back to his small mountain town, Reid would rather run away than face his crumbling future-and the girl who broke his heart.
Clara Suarez's legacy can't be failure. A year out of high school and aimless, she has one last shot at getting into her dream film school shooting a Legacy Weekend video interviewing her former classmates-including her ex, Reid-about their explosive senior year and the scandal that capped it off. But any time people return to the mountain, drama follows... especially when an anonymous social media account starts airing everyone's dirty laundry.
Reid isn't the only one hiding something, and Clara isn't the only one with regrets. Their spark is still strong enough to set off a wildfire, but their secrets might just tear them apart for good.
A second-chance love story from Eva des Lauriers, perfect for fans of Lynn Painter, Tillie Cole, and Jenny Han.

Report
Eva Des Lauriers delivers what young adult romance is all about. Clara and Reid have instant chemistry in their flashbacks and the most delicious tension in their post-breakup present day, the best of both worlds for romance lovers who can never decide between meet cutes and second chances! Readers will root for Clara and Reid on their journey back together, as well as the journeys they take separately as they-along with their complicated friend group-navigate mental health struggles, intense expectations, and the mystery of an anonymous gossip account threatening everything they've worked for. This is a story about falling in love and fighting for it, and the importance of following your own path, even when you have to dig it out with your own two hands.
