It doesnât come as much of a surprise to Alex Ryan when she finds herself falling head over heels for Connie OâReilly. How could she not? There isnât a person alive who wouldnât be drawn to the irresistibly beautiful and charming Connie. It seems impossible she could reciprocate -- not when Alex is so awkward, so timid, so very much a girl -- until what starts as a sweet friendship blossoms into something so much more than Alex could have dreamed of.
Alex knows what they have is a momentary thing, not enough to be called forever. Connieâs the most popular girl in the school, wealthy and admired. Sheâs going to go to Trinity, maybe marry a lawyer. Sheâs going to have everything Alex could never give her. She isnât stupid, after all.
Status and reputation might mean nothing to Alex, but to Connie they are everything. The only out-lesbian they know is ridiculed by everyone she meets, and itâll be a cold day in hell before Connie lets that be her.
But when rumours spark and new faces enter the picture, theyâre both set to discover that, while it may be easy to walk away, itâs a lot harder to move on.
