An irresistible story from Kasie West that explores the timeless question: What do you do when you fall for the person you least expect? When Autumn Collins finds herself accidentally locked in the library for an entire weekend, she doesn’t think things could get any worse. But that’s before she realizes that Dax Miller is locked in with her. Autumn doesn’t know much about Dax except that he’s trouble. Between the rumors about the fight he was in (and that brief stint in juvie that followed it) and his reputation as a loner, he’s not exactly the ideal person to be stuck with. Still, she just keeps reminding herself that it is only a matter of time before Jeff, her almost-boyfriend, realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her. Only he doesn’t come. No one does. Instead it becomes clear that Autumn is going to have to spend the next couple of days living off vending-machine food and making conversation with a boy who clearly wants nothing to do with her. Except there is more to Dax than meets the eye. As he and Autumn at first grudgingly, and then not so grudgingly, open up to each other, Autumn is struck by their surprising connection. But can their feelings for each other survive once the weekend is over and Autumn’s old life, and old love interest, threaten to pull her from Dax’s side?

Ma la passione è più forte di tutto. E così Lily inizia ad appuntare versi sul banco, sperando che nessuno se ne accorga. Qualcuno però la scopre. Qualcuno che legge e aggiunge parole alle sue, sul banco. A ogni lezione di chimica. Tre volte a settimana. Quella che nasce tra Lily e il suo misterioso interlocutore è una vera e propria corrispondenza, che la entusiasma, le dà energia e la spinge a trasformare quelle frasi in testi di canzoni. Quanto può durare la magia?
