title: Before & After
author: Andrews, Nazarea
description: Rike and Peyton fell in love in college.   A boy from the wrong side of the tracks, covered in ink and crooning in a bar is the last person a straight laced girl with a art major should fall for, but his rough edges made her jagged, alive, shaving away the coddled southern princess and revealing a soul wild and brilliant.   They fell in love, despite her family and his past and all the reasons why it wouldn't work--and with their best friends, they made a life. Everyone was supposed to live happily ever after.  They, more than anyone, knows that life doesn't go according to plan.   Rike and Peyton fell in love in college. A boy with a guitar, and a poet's heart, and a girl with freckles dusted over her nose, a perfect fucking fairy tale.   But what happens when the fairy tale doesn't fall apart--but is forgotten?
