Abbi Glines

A #1 New York Times bestseller and the first novel in a brand-new series—from bestselling author Abbi Glines—about a small Southern town filled with cute boys in pickup trucks, Friday night football games, and crazy parties that stir up some major drama. To everyone who knows him, West Ashby has always been that guy: the cocky, popular, way-too-handsome-for-his-own-good football god who led Lawton High to the state championships. But while West may be Big Man on Campus on the outside, on the inside he’s battling the grief that comes with watching his father slowly die of cancer. Two years ago, Maggie Carleton’s life fell apart when her father murdered her mother. And after she told the police what happened, she stopped speaking and hasn’t spoken since. Even the move to Lawton, Alabama, couldn’t draw Maggie back out. So she stayed quiet, keeping her sorrow and her fractured heart hidden away. As West’s pain becomes too much to handle, he knows he needs to talk to someone about his father—so in the dark shadows of a post-game party, he opens up to the one girl who he knows won’t tell anyone else. West expected that talking about his dad would bring some relief, or at least a flood of emotions he couldn’t control. But he never expected the quiet new girl to reply, to reveal a pain even deeper than his own—or for them to form a connection so strong that he couldn’t ever let her go…

“She had become my lifeline. I wanted to be hers. I wanted her to feel this way about me, too.”

“I had always been told my future was on the field and I could be somebody great. I had wanted that. Until I found somebody who needed me. And I realized the only person I wanted to be great for was her.”

Okay I don't like him🙃 I really hope she changes his perspective but he's already digged himself a whole he can never get out of...

Gunner was right, though. We'd had the same girls in this town since elementary school. They were boring, superficial, and I'd slept with all the good-looking ones. No one was a distraction. They were all just annoying as hell.

West needed to be saved. Someone hat to get close to him, to reach him.

 one had been able to save my father, and horror had followed in his path of destruction.

West was in desperate need of help. That much I knew. I also knew that I wasn't that person for him.

Hospitals had always felt cold to me. I wouldn't want to die here. I'd like to die somewhere I loved, somewhere that made me feel safe. Which, finally, made me realize what I would pray for.

I closed my eyes and said a silent prayer that Jude Ashby didn't have to die here.

That he could die at home. A place he loved.

I'm crying already I'm not sure I can read on💔

I knew we'd never get a weekend like that again.

From the hallway I could see his mother's head resting on the bed beside his dad's arm. Her hand locked tightly with his. She was holding on to him, as if she could keep him there that way.

"No, Raleigh. She saved him. When no one else could. Now take yourself far way from her before this bat-crazy episode you just had gets back to him. Because he'll come for Maggie first to check on her. Then he's coming for you."
