The Us We Knew

When Celeste bumps into Chase at the county fair, she's certain her misfortune is over. Sure, the cheer team has turned its back on her and her whole family is grieving her beloved grandmother's passing. But Chase is her older brother Owen's closest friend, the carefree, charismatic, hot friend she's had an unrequited crush on for forever. Now that she's finally caught his attention, Celeste will do whatever it takes to keep it—and keep the spark between them secret. Especially when an impulsive decision leaves her full of regret.

At school, Celeste finds herself paired with Chase's younger brother, Ty, for their senior project. Celeste's once-stellar grades tanked after Gigi's death, and a lot more rides on their partnership than she'd like to admit. Though their brothers are lifelong friends, Celeste and Ty have never been close. She's surprised at just how much they have in common. Ty is easygoing, considerate, and smart–clearly the right Fortier brother for Celeste. If only she'd discovered that sooner. If only she'd been honest with Ty from the start... Celeste doesn't want to deceive the boy she's falling for, but she can't risk ruining the only relationship keeping her afloat.

Then one phone call shatters both their worlds. Amid the wreckage of all they knew, is there any hope that Celeste and Ty can find love?
