2017 Independent Author Network Young Adult Book of the Year.

I belonged to you the moment you told my mama you were waiting for me when I was still inside her stomach. I belonged to you as we grew up sharing a tree house, a yard, and the lake. I even belonged to you when our three-year age difference tried to pull us apart rather than put us together. But I was most especially yours when you kissed me and told me you weren’t letting me go.

Except you did. And now I’m wondering how to turn our lives from a country love song without a happy ending into one that does…. Because “loving you was a race I was determined to win”.

Inspired by Taylor Swift’s country songs, this is a story of aching love and loss and learning to live through life in all its pain and glory.
