Kansas collects beautiful words in her notebook; in real life, she can’t find any.
Kansas wants to take one final jump. She gets bullied at school and has lost touch with her family, just like her speech. However, before she can plunge to her death, she meets River. River, with his ocean-blue eyes and the look of a fallen angel. River, who loves beautiful words as much as she does. He talks her into making a deal with him: hang out with him for the summer, and then they’ll jump together if she still has the urge.
But the mysterious River has other plans, and the journey to death becomes a journey to living. Because River is not who he claims to be. And while Kansas’s emotional wounds heal, River’s continue to worsen. Soon, Kansas begins to wonder which of them truly needs saving—and what dark secret he is hiding.
A story as enchantingly beautiful, tragic, and full of wonder as life. A love that you never forget.
Intense - dangerous - romantic.
