Easy Contours of the Heart Book 1

A GIRL WHO BELIEVES TRUST CAN BE MISPLACED, PROMISES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN, AND LOYALTY IS AN ILLUSION. A BOY WHO BELIEVES TRUTH IS RELATIVE, LIES CAN MASK UNBEARABLE PAIN, AND GUILT IS ETERNAL. WHEN JACQUELINE FOLLOWS HER LONGTIME BOYFRIEND TO THE COLLEGE OF HIS CHOICE, THE LAST THING SHE EXPECTS IS A SOPHOMORE YEAR BREAKUP. AFTER TWO WEEKS IN SHOCK, SHE WAKES UP TO HER NEW REALITY: SHE'S SINGLE, ATTENDING A STATE UNIVERSITY INSTEAD OF A MUSIC CONSERVATORY, IGNORED BY HER FORMER CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, AND FAILING A CLASS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE.

THIS NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND GOODREADS CHOICE FINALIST EXPLORES WHETHER WHAT JACQUELINE AND THE BOY FIND IN EACH OTHER WILL VALIDATE OR DISPROVE THEIR RESPECTIVE CONCLUSIONS. GRIEF BECOMES NIGHTMARE WHEN JACQUELINE IS ASSAULTED BY HER EX'S FRAT BROTHER.

SUDDENLY APPEARANCES ARE EVERYTHING, AND KNOWING WHO TO TELL AND WHO TO TRUST IS ANYTHING BUT EASY.
