Prologue

When Ella Belson started high school, she was given a watch counting down to the meeting of her soulmate. Five years later, when she has grown into her sweet pastels and frills, she meets Hale, who crashes into her life like, well, hail!

But as soon as their watches beep, they know the other isn't all they hoped for. Hale is traditional, realistic, and prefers to blend into crowds. Ella is rebellious, ambitious, and sticks out like a sugary rainbow (quite literally). Surely the watches are wrong?

Or perhaps they delivered exactly what the other needed...
