Description
Sixteen-year-old Aislyn James Rutherford never meant to text a stranger. She was just trying to send a quick message to her mom-until, hours later, she realized she never got a response. When she double-texts to check again, expecting to hear her mom's phone buzz in the next room, she's shocked when her phone vibrates instead. The reply comes from an unknown number. What starts as a random mistake soon turns into an unexpected friendship. The mystery texter, Hadley, is ten years older than Aislyn-a fact that raises red flags for her mom and friends-but the connection they share is undeniable. Despite the warnings, their conversations become a safe place for Aislyn, offering her an understanding she's never quite found elsewhere. Then Hadley goes to see her family in Napa, just miles from Aislyn's home. With the opportunity to finally meet in person, neither of them can resist-until a sudden tragedy turns everything upside down. As the truth about their friendship comes to light, Aislyn is left questioning whether some connections are meant to last... or if some mistakes were never meant to happen at all
