![]() Underneath the goody two-shoes persona is damaged goods…but can the bad boy across the street save her? Bailey Followhill is the perfect daughter. Sweet. Charitable. Pretty. Control freak. Not a hair out of place, not an inch out of line, she is everything her troublemaking sister Daria isn't. But when her A game turns out to be a lukewarm C- at Juilliard, Bailey's picture-ready life starts fraying faster than the worn satin ribbons of her pointe shoes. She's becoming a piece of gossip. The Troubled Child. A drug abuser. No longer the girl her best friend once knew. Lev Cole is so golden, he's got the Midas Touch. Prized quarterback. Football captain. Hottest guy in SoCal. A textbook cliché. But with a girlfriend he doesn't love and a career path he doesn't value, Lev is coasting. The only two things he cares about, Bailey and becoming a pilot, are out of reach. But Lev is done being satisfied with the life others have chosen for him. He wants to pick his own cards. To demolish the seamless kingdom of lies his family stitched together on the ruins his mother left behind. The question is, can he save his best friend and his dream before too much damage is done? 5 Heart Review by Lorena Hands down, the best book from LJ Shen! An emotional, gut-wrenching story that will certainly shatter your heart. This book had me in shambles, I couldn't sleep last night from thinking about it as I finished it. Childhood friends who eventually confess to each other that they are in love with one another, but life is taking them on different paths and nothing is the same from the moment Bailey leaves to college to the other side of the country. Lev is not losing hope and will still wait for her, but she tells him to not wait and move on. Lev is devastated but eventually moves on and finds a girl that he can pass the time with. When Bailey comes back home due to her getting hurt at Juilliard, she continues to try and push herself and her body because she's adamant that she will return to that school, but in the meantime she has to face Levy and how she will handle her feelings for him. Their life turns pretty messy, Bailey goes through withdrawals and she behaves irrational and mean towards all the people that love and care for her. Lev will continue to take those hits from Bailey because to him there is no one more perfect for him. She may have issues but he is determined to help her and get his old Bailey back one way or another. Will they be able to overcome all the obstacles that are in the way of their happiness? Levy is dealing with a manipulative snake who not only wants Levy, but she wants his lifestyle as well and will stop at nothing to achieve what she wants, even if it means that she is hurting Bailey at a dangerous level. Will their love survive with all the curveballs that have been thrown their way? My heart splintered, shattered to smithereens but little by little it got glued back together. Lev is totally a dream come true. I don't think there is no other man like him. He didn't care if he had to bring down the universe in order to get his girl back to him as the original Bailey. I think this has been the book that destroyed me the most from this series. About the Author L.J.
