Readers of books like If This Gets Out and The Distance Between Us and those anticipating the upcoming reboot of Friday Night Lights.
Can the relationship between two high school sweethearts survive the first year of college?
When Drayton Lahey surprises his girlfriend, Dallas Bryan, by joining her in LA for college, they are ecstatic to be together—proving that true love has legs. Their whirlwind relationship had its ups and downs, but they’re committed to each other and to making their dreams come true. Dallas is enrolled in a competitive dance program at CalArts, and Drayton’s the QB of the USC football team, so the pressure’s on for him to bring home a championship.
But life interrupts their bubble—Dallas loses a portion of her scholarship and is forced to take a part-time job to make ends meet. The pressure of school, work, and dance means she has even less time for Drayton. And he’s having his own struggles: both on and off the field. Their short-distance relationship starts to feel even harder than if they were miles apart. As their dreams for the future diverge, bridging the gap growing between them becomes harder and harder.
