   Summary

   It should have been a happy story.
   A simple, complicated love triangle where the girl falls for a boy named Gerard and unexpectedly gets reintroduced to her childhood best friend, Mikey. But nothing happened the way it was supposed to. Instead, it begs the question: is love the thing that can fix all of her problems, or will it amplify them even more?
