The start of me and you
Paige Hancock starts junior year with a list of ways to take back her life, rather than spending another year as "The Girl Whose Boyfriend Drowned," and finding out that Ryan Chase, her long-term crush, is available again might be the key.
The book was optioned for a film adaptation by Awesomeness Films shortly after its publication.
This book tells a complete story with a resolved ending for its main characters.
