Note from the author: due to strong language and sexual content, this book is recommended for mature audiences. So, when Kate leaves San Diego to attend college in the small town of Grant, Minnesota, the last thing she expects is to fall hard for Keller Banks. She's never bought into it, never believed in it. The one thing that escapes her optimism is love. She's quick witted, endlessly passionate about music, the first to offer a smile, and the kind of loyal that most friends only dream about. She's endured hardship and tragedy, but throughout it all she remains happy and optimistic (there's a reason her best friend Gus calls her Bright Side). From international bestselling author KIM HOLDEN comes an inspiring, life-changing story about the power of love in all its forms, having the courage to live life to the fullest, and always. Kate Sedgwick's life has been anything but typical. Heart-wrenching." -Colleen Hoover, #1 New York Times bestselling author From international bestselling author KIM HOLDEN comes an inspiring, life-changing story about the power of love in all its forms, having the courage to live life to the fullest, and always looking on the bright side.
