At twenty-four, Isabelle D'Alessandra is very good at being okay.
She's spent most of her life being the dependable one-the daughter who doesn't cause problems, the sister who remembers everything, the person everyone else can count on. Her own dreams have always been easier to postpone.
Until her mother announces she's moving back to Argentina, their lease is ending, and for the first time, there's nothing keeping Isabelle from doing the one thing she's talked herself out of for years:
Moving to Los Angeles with her best friend.
There's only one problem.
Leo Bennett is there.
Before sold-out shows, magazine covers, and platinum records, Leo was just the boy who scribbled lyrics in the margins of his notebooks. He was Isabelle's best friend, her first love, and once upon a time, the person she thought she'd spend her life with.
They haven't spoken in months.
That doesn't stop Isabelle from almost calling him the moment her life turns upside down.
And she isn't the only one having trouble letting go.
As Isabelle builds a life in Los Angeles-one filled with bad decisions, late nights, new friendships, old feelings, and songs she never intended anyone else to hear-she begins to realize that getting everything you once wanted doesn't necessarily mean you've found where you belong.
Sometimes a life changes in the smallest ways.
A song.
A key.
A late-night drive.
A handful of pocket change.
And sometimes, the people who change us most aren't meant to stay in the same place in our lives forever.
