When true love is shattered by tragedy—how much would you risk to save it all?
When Aggi Frank and Max Granger finally admitted their feelings for each other last December, it felt like love was beautiful and endless... until it wasn’t.
A fatal car accident involving their older siblings throws their lives into sudden chaos. And with a restraining order now in place between the two bitter households, Aggi and Max’s love runs cold. Being together again seems like a distant fantasy, even though they share the same driveway.
Still, Plum Lake is a small town, and staying apart can’t last forever. Aggi and Max eventually reunite at a lake-house party hosted by a mutual friend and break the ice after a year of silence. But just as they begin to rebuild their relationship, the unthinkable happens when Aggi’s little sister, Grace, flees from home after their father spirals into a fit of rage. With a support system of friends close by, Aggi and Max must confront each other and their families in the hopes of mending all the broken pieces.
Perfect for fans of Jennifer Niven and Nicola Yoon, Brenda Rufener’s (Where I Live) second heartbreaking and uplifting novel captures the ups and downs of star-crossed lovers in the face of unimaginable grief, the fragile balance of their family relations, and the rocky journey to healing, peace, and forgiveness.

Why I'm Waiting: This has a bit of a Romeo and Juliet vibe and I quite like where it's going with it. I was never big on classics in school and there were only 4 I liked. (Night, The Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye, and Romeo and Juliet/ Macbeth. I don't count them as their own seperate because we only read parts of them in high school, but I went on to read the full thing!) Anywaysssss lol Lastly, let's be honest, anywhere that name drops Nicola Yoon has some big shoes to fill with me, but I can't wait to see if it actually is as amazing as this sounds. Also, I am really sick and tired of the summer heat here in Texas, so having some of the snow found on the cover would be a relief.
What are you waiting on this week?
Will you be waiting on this with me?
