ABOUT THE BOOK
Celia Gilbert is the perfect friend—loyal, trustworthy, and committed to mending her best friends' broken hearts. She's the reason the trio is spending the summer in Lovesick Falls, the idyllic little town where Touchstone's sort-of-uncle's cabin was waiting to be house-sat by three unsupervised (but totally responsible) teenagers. After all, Celia, Ros, and Touchstone have been best friends since childhood. Sure, Celia is in love with Ros, and Touchstone was once in love with Celia — but that's the beauty of a place like Lovesick Falls. If you fell in love, you could fall out. Unless you can change the other person's mind. They started the summer closer than ever. Will living together tear them apart?
