description: ‘And Connie paused to look at me, eyes welling up with so much awe that I had to stop talking, and in the almost silence of that mid-winter night my chest constricted and my heart inflamed at the sight of everything I held dear in the world, and all I had to lose.Remember this, I told myself, and I closed my eyes.’ It doesn’t come as much of a surprise to Alex Ryan when she finds herself falling head over heels for Connie O’Reilly. How could she not? There isn’t a person alive who wouldn’t be drawn to the irresistibly beautiful and charming Connie. It seems impossible that she could reciprocate- not when Alex is so awkward, so timid, so very much a girl- until what starts as a sweet friendship blossoms into something so much more than Alex could have dreamed of.Alex knows that what they have is a momentary thing, not enough to be called forever. Connie’s the most popular girl in the school, wealthy and admired. She’s going to go to Trinity, maybe marry a lawyer. She’s going to have everything Alex could never give her. She isn’t stupid, after all. Status and reputation might mean nothing to her but to Connie they are everything. The only out-lesbian they know is ridiculed by everyone she meets, and it’ll be a cold day in Hell before Connie lets that be her.But when rumors spark and new faces enter the picture, they’re both set to discover that while it may be easy to walk away, it’s a lot harder to move on.
