A deeply emotional and highly romantic tale of two teens who fall in love while grieving the one person who makes their love impossible, in the vein of “You've Reached Sam” and “The Sky Is Everywhere”.
Sarah feels unmoored following her boyfriend's sudden and tragic death. Their love story was cut short after just two sweet months together, and now all Sarah can think about are the moments she and Alex should be sharing. Sarah distracts herself by consoling Ash, her best friend and Alex's sister, and by rehearsing for the school play and working at her aunt's café. But none of this is as comforting as her nightly talks with Jake.
Jake is not ready to move on. Unable to sleep at night and "mopey", according to his girlfriend, who doesn't understand why he isn't ready to jump back into partying, Jake is wracked with guilt as a witness to Alex's death. His one source of joy is talking to Sarah. But between their growing closeness and taking over as captain of the basketball team, Jake worries he is co-opting Alex's life.
Both can't help but wonder if they're betraying Alex, and Ash, by acting on the feelings they can no longer deny. Given all that stands in the way, is their relationship worth fighting for?
