Story Notes

This is a cute, sometimes a little spicy, but heartwarming teen love story with some accurate and fun 90s throwback references. It is the first in a soon-to-be three-part series with Gio and Ren as the main characters. All three will be able to be read as stand-alones as well.

Most teenagers would agree—music is everything. It heightens experiences and makes us feel “it,” (whatever that feeling is in your life currently) even more. There are many songs mentioned throughout this book. I’ve included a link to Giovanni and Lauren’s playlist on my wall if you would like to listen. ♡

Summary

It's the mid-90s on the West Coast. Lauren's junior year of high school is the worst year of her life so far, and she feels anything but confident. Her biggest and most elusive crush, Gio, a gorgeous and mysterious outsider, reappears from her past unexpectedly. The attraction is as intense as ever, and the sexual chemistry between them heats up fast. However, his school life is a disaster, and he is keeping a secret about some photos and a girl he won't share, but it's what Lauren keeps from him that really threatens to tear their young romance apart. ♡♡♡ This story bends some traditional high school teen romance tropes, a major one being that Ren, the female MC, is older than the male MC and, in some respects, does more of the typical male actions in the story (ie: pursues him in the beginning) Other tropes include: Bad Boy/Good Girl (Though Gio's not too bad and Ren is not all the way good.)

Prologue

Do you believe in fate? Soulmates? I question this to myself as I nostalgically look down at the simple but delicate necklace he had given me, draped across my fingers, lost at the bottom of an old dusty box for the last eleven years. I sigh, because I don’t think I do... But have you ever just met a person for the first time who you just knew would be important to you? Looked into their eyes and just known immediately that they were someone very special? Like a force or a pull beyond what science says exists—an electric current, powerful and quick, which courses through and alights your heart and soul? And you know that even if they fell back out of your life, you would be forever changed and always remember them?

I have...

...and I’ll always remember.

sharonharder4: Excellent story! Took me a while to realize Malik was black. You did a very good job showing how, even today, a mixed color relationship runs into discrimination. But you also made guilt, love and grief universal emotions. Like always, excellent writing. I always enjoy your work.
