So when Becca has to take a job at a coffee shop, she is more than a little bit insecure about what this will mean for their relationship.

And Alec doesn’t know that Becca’s best friend has captured The Kiss on her camera phone. Becca and Camille have never met, but their lives will unravel and intertwine in surprising ways throughout this beautifully crafted verse novel about love, heartbreak, and trust.
