“In a matter of minutes on a Friday night, I lost my school, my identity, the security of my first love, the personality of my sweet fearless brother, my best friend, my town, everything as I knew it. Everything changed.”

"New relationships. New dreams. Same feelings. Welcome to college Jules and West.
Fear, guilt, and jealousy rear their ugly heads as Jules and West strive to figure out what they want now that they've emerged from the wreckage of the storm.
A year has passed since the night Jules Blacklin and West Rutledge were thrown together by a tornado.
