Junior year’s looking up for sixteen-year old Mike. Her new BFF isn’t a sadistic control freak, her boyfriend adores her, and she’s learning to bike in the mountains without decapitating herself on a tree.

Well, almost.

When she meets a group of riders who welcome her into their pack, she feels like she’s finally found where she belongs. One particular rider—a boy with an amazing smile and an even more amazing ability to see what she’s truly capable of—gives her the confidence to go after what she wants: her own life with her own rules.

There’s only one problem—he’s not her boyfriend.

Just as things seem to be falling into place, her parents put on the pressure to figure out her future—one that doesn’t include riding. Mike soon realizes that having everything isn’t that great when she’s not the one choosing it. She needs to decide if she’s going to continue to be a follower or step out of the shadows and find her own trail.


Evan smiles and presses a kiss to my cheek. “Okay, we’ll wait sixty seconds.” He stares into my eyes and I’m reminded of that story online that says if you stare into someone’s eyes for four minutes, you’ll fall in love. We’re already in love—at least I think we are—so I don’t know how that could change anything, but I stare back anyway.

At first I feel self-conscious. It feels like I’m baring my soul to him, like his bright green eyes can see right through me. But I suppose it’s the same with my blue eyes for him. I try not to blink and focus on the flecks of brown that ring the green. For the millionth time I catch myself wondering what he sees in me, why he chose me out of all the girls at school, and I shake my head to clear the thought. We chose each other. This isn’t one-sided.
