Life has always had a curious way of placing us exactly where our feelings get most confused. Me, my sister Maya, Riley, Lucas, Farkle, Zay, and Smackle had just started a new phase: college. New routines, new responsibilities... and, of course, new feelings that seemed even more intense than before. But the real reason for the anxiety wasn't college itself. It was him. Joshua. Four years older than all of us, Josh has always been one step ahead — more mature, more secure... and, perhaps for this reason, even more impossible. He and Maya always had that weird connection, like it was something unfinished, an "almost" that never really went away. And Maya was counting down the days to see him again. But what no one knew...

Hiding this was about to become impossible.
