From Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author L.J. Shen comes a quick and touching novella about first loves, teenage regrets, and a bittersweet ending Alex is a taciturn teen with a chip on his shoulder and plans that do not involve having a girlfriend. Lara is the romantic girl who wants a taste of danger...but not enough to risk her entire life. When they first meet, they have one thing in common—an acquaintance neither of them is particularly attached to. What starts as a casual relationship spins into an angsty love story with ups, downs, and heartache. And through this first love, Alex and Lara find out the most valuable lesson life can teach—that love is a lot, but it is not everything.
