Marlee Adams is not looking for love. All she wants to do is not think about the fact that her mother is dead, hang out with her friends at the local diner, and drop out of school forever. She’s definitely not looking to fall in love with the new, very hot, and very unavailable German exchange student, Maximilian Hoffman. But, love has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. Spanning years and continents, Marlee finds herself inexplicably drawn toward Max for reasons she can’t explain, all while dealing with grief, managing friendships, and most importantly, falling in love.
