PART OF ME - you become so emotionally close to someone that you feel like they are literally a part of you, like a half of your heart. You don't want to live without them - you can't. Aviana Ember wouldn't know this feeling. Moving from Chicago to a small, coastline town in California with her Mom and Dad and twin brother, all she dreams of is a fresh start away from a rough past of school bullies. And a new school, for her, is the perfect place to leave behind anxieties and fears of being absolutely alone the world. But when Axel White walks into her homeroom on the first day of school, wondering who she is without even asking her himself, and deciding to then claim the desk behind her, being alone is the least of her worries. With a new beginning full of life-changing moments, new friends and crushes, enemies and haunting memories of the past, Aviana continues her journey to realize that there is something critical between her and everyone she meets, something that will make her decide who she's going to be, even when those people are ones she'd rather not know. The agonizing realization that the boy she grows to hate is actually somehow, just maybe, a part of her she never knew she needed, will maybe, just maybe, bring so much more. ❝I love you.❞ ❝You shouldn't. I'm going to ruin your life.❞
