ALWAYS FOREVER MAYBE

When Betts meets Aiden at the candy store where she works, their connection is like a sugar rush to the heart. She already knows the two of them are destined to become an us.

Betts has only ever kept one secret from her best friend, Jo, but suddenly there's a long list of things she won't tell her, things Jo wouldn't understand. Because Jo doesn't see how good Aiden is for Betts. She finds him needy. Possessive. Controlling.

She's wrong. With a love like this, nothing else matters.

"Elegantly written with a keen insight into teen relationships....An absorbing tale of a fatal attraction and its consequences." —Kirkus Reviews
