please, please, please
don't prove 'em right.

. . . the sequel to FALLING.

IN WHICH. . . ᥫ᭡

two people kissed at a party four months ago, not knowing who the other one was. now, one of them is a rising pop star, and the other is desperately trying to track her down.

in the midst of her booming career, maeve thatcher has no idea that matt sturniolo has been infatuated with her since the day they met at his high school graduation. she wasn't even aware he even knew about the kiss at that party — which he technically didn't, until a week ago.

she's the only one who truly understands him, so matt will go to any lengths to make maeve his. the only problem? she's completely sworn off dating since breaking up with her toxic ex, and matt has no clue how to change her mind.
