DOWNLOAD EBOOKA sardonic young woman must face the demons of her past when a high school friend commits suicide in this “startling coming of age story” (Kirkus). Recent college grad Aubrey Glass has a collection of potential suicide notes—just in case. And now, five years—and five notes—after Aubrey has left her hometown, her former best friend Rachel is the one who goes and kills herself. Aubrey can’t believe her luck. But Rachel’s death doesn’t leave Aubrey in peace. There’s a voice mail from her former friend, left only days before her death, that she can’t bring herself to listen to—and worse, a macabre memorial-turned-high-school-reunion that promises the opportunity to catch up with everyone . . . including the man responsible for everything that went wrong between Aubrey and Rachel. In the days leading up to the funeral and infamous after-party, Aubrey slips seamlessly between her past and present. Memories of friendship tangle with painful new encounters, while underneath it all Aubrey feels the rush of something closing in, something she can no longer run from. And when the past and present collide in one devastating night, nothing will be the same again.

I never thought at the age of fifteen I would find my eternal love, but he was like a rattlesnake, he jumped up out of nowhere and bit me in the ass. Before him I thought my life was perfect, but oh how wrong I was. I thought I had everything life could give me. I had the perfect folks, a wonderful loving brother, and the best friend a girl could ask for, but it all changed in an instant. A moment of time that will change the course of my life—Forever. COUNTRY: Life can change at the snap of your finger. Before I joined the DreamCatchers MC, I was just existing. After them, I was learning to live. Then I met her—Charlee… and now, I know what living is supposed to be like. I’ve learned to live in the moment and never take life for granted. She changed everything for me. She gave me a home, a family, and a love that you only hear about from the older generation. You know, where they sit in their rocking chairs and talk about how they fell in love, how they raised their children together, and how life wasn’t worth living without the other. This is us, my Charlee girl and me. Sit back and hold on tight… this is our story, it isn’t all pretty—full of roses and sunshine, but it’s ours in all its messed-up glory.
