About THE IMPOSSIBLE VASTNESS OF US:
âI know how to watch my back. Iâm the only one that ever has.â
India Maxwell hasnât just moved across the countryâsheâs plummeted to the bottom rung of the social ladder. Itâs taken years to cover the mess of her home life with a veneer of popularity. Now sheâs living in one of Bostonâs wealthiest neighborhoods with her momâs fiancé and his daughter, Eloise. Thanks to her soon-to-be stepsisterâs clique of friends, including Eloiseâs gorgeous, arrogant boyfriend Finn, India feels like the one thing she hoped never to be seen as again: trash.
But Indiaâs not alone in struggling to control the secrets of her past. Eloise and Finn, the schoolâs golden couple, arenât all they seem to be. In fact, everyoneâs life is infinitely more complex than it first appears. And as India grows closer to Finn and befriends Eloise, threatening the facades that hold them together, whatâs left are truths that are brutal, beautiful, and big enough to change them foreverâ¦

I mean, I am, but itâs not like that. Eloise is getting what she wants out of this relationship, as well.â âLike what?â âI canât tell you.â âYou are using her.â âIâm not.â His chair screeched as he pulled it closer so our knees touched. His dark eyes moved over my face and I sucked in my breath at the open appreciation I saw there. âIâm not using herâ¦but we are in a relationship together. I guess it just never occurred to me that I might actually meet someone in high school. Someone Iâ¦â That feeling in my chest, that thick, hot feeling, threatened to overwhelm me at all the things he wasnât saying. âFinn, Eloise is going to be my family.â He looked so forlorn it took everything within me not to reach for him. âWhat is it youâre hiding?â âI canât tell you. Please, just trust me.â Hurt and frustration swept through me in equal measure but I tamped it down. It wasnât my place to demand his secrets. My frustration was suddenly mirrored in his eyes as he looked up at me. âI wish things were different.â But they werenât different. And yet they were the same, history repeating itself. I cared about someone and they didnât care enough about me back to be honest about what was really going on. I didnât know if I was angry at Finn or just angry that nothing ever seemed to be easy for me. Everything was always a fight. It felt like I lived in a constant clusterfuck. I gave a huff of laughter. âStory of my life.â I shook my head, grabbed up my bag and, unable to look at him, said, âThank you for your help tonight.â âYouâre not leaving without me.â His protectiveness confused and pissed me off even more. âIâm not? Funny, it looks like thatâs exactly what Iâm doing.â His familiar scowl was back in place at my sarcasm. âYouâre also not going home alone after what happened here. Iâll give you a ride.â âFinn.â I slumped, suddenly feeling exhausted. âI donât think thatâs a good idea.â Sadness flittered through his eyes before he managed a carefully blank expression. âI think I can handle driving you home.â Still a trembling mess after everything that had happened, I gave in and followed Finn out to his car. The tension that weâd shared before was nothing compared to how it was now. Now that Finn had in a roundabout way admitted he liked me and Iâd realized that what I was feeling for him was attraction, the tension could not be mistaken for anything else but sexual. Iâd never felt anything like it beforeâit was the most frustrating, scary and exhilarating feeling in the world. When we eventually pulled up outside the house, the guilt washed over me. I shouldnât be feeling this way about Eloiseâs boyfriend and he certainly shouldnât be feeling this way about me. I felt like we were to blame for the whole thing but I didnât know why. I hadnât asked the universe to make Finn like me. And I had definitely not intended to like him in return. âIndia,â he said just as I moved to get out of his car. âIâve never really cared what anybody thought of me beforeâ¦but I really donât want you to think Iâm a bad person.â I stared into his beautiful eyes. âI canât imagine ever thinking youâre a bad person. I meant it earlierâ¦thank you for coming for me tonight. Iâll never forget it.â âThis feels weirdly like a goodbye,â he said with a bitter twist to his gorgeous lips. âMaybe it is. I guess weâre both just a complication the other doesnât need.â Slowly, so slowly my heart had time to increase in hard, steady thumps, Finn slid his hand over the center console between us and stroked his thumb along the side of my hand. I felt that simple touch in every nerve, my body reacting to it in a way it never had to the touches and deep kisses that had come before it. I stared at our hands for a moment, wondering how different my life could be if Finn wasnât Eloiseâs boyfriend, if weâd just met as strangers at school, felt the inexplicable bond between us and were free to do something about it. Suddenly very aware of how long Iâd been sitting outside the house in his car, I fumbled for the door handle. âSee you around, Finn.â Direct Link: http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/9172c1a0375/
