A story you read. A soundtrack you carry. A town that never forgot the night everything changed.
You listen to it. You look at it. You carry it around for weeks.
A forbidden love, a family secret, and a small town that remembers everything you'd rather forget.
Songs written for the story — the ones Mandi hums when the words run out.
Faces, places, porches. See Willow Creek the way it plays in your head while you read.
Five years later, Mandi June is falling for the one boy in Willow Creek she was never supposed to want — the brother of the boy who died. And someone in town still knows exactly what happened up there.
Talented. Dreamer. Real. She carries her family's past — and turns pain into strength. A forbidden love is closer than she's ready for.
Strong, but quietly breaking. Haunted by loss. Pressured to be the perfect son. Loving her might be the one thing he can't control.
Living life through a screen. Ambitious. Magnetic. Always performing. But behind the filters, she's falling apart.
She watches more than she speaks. Mandi's best friend. Smart, loyal — and closer to the truth than anyone thinks.
Unconditional love. No judgment. Always by her side, especially when everything else falls apart.
