She's ready to give up on life, hiding her depression with sarcasm and booze.
He's got a secret and quit college, with few friends to lean on. When they discover
each other, the sexual attraction is undeniable. So why does it seem impossible for
them to be together?
Everyone wanted to be Jewels Peterson in high school. Naturally beautiful,
exceptionally smart, talented cheerleader, life of the party, and with an All-American
boyfriend to boot. One regrettable choice and fatal accident later, and Jewels found
herself unceremoniously knocked off her pedestal. Now sheâ™s in college, going
through the motions, but not really living.
Adam Murphy is easy-going, charming, considerate, and crazy good looking; heâ™s
exactly the kind of guy Jewels pictures herself being happy with. But Jewels is
already involved with someone, and Adam makes it known that heâ™s guarding a dark
secret, one that makes him the wrong guy for her. Trumped by the promise of an
innocent friendship, Jewels is forced to ignore her overwhelming hunger for Adam.
After Jewels unknowingly helps Adam create a bucket list, they embark on the
adventure of a lifetime that pushes their platonic relationship to its limits. But does
she want to be with Adam without knowing the truth behind the skeletons in his
closet, or is being with him just another pointless thing in her life?
