Sinopsis
Antes, Brynn tenía un grupo de mejores amigas, un novio encantador, un talento creciente en la cerámica. Tenía una vida. Y después... no tenía nada.
Cuando Brynn perdió el novio que nunca la amó, las amigas que sienten que ella traicionó su confianza, y la nueva vida que apenas empezaba a crecer dentro de ella, cree que su futuro está tan vacío como su cuerpo. Pero entonces Christian, el chico de al lado, empieza a aparecer. Tocando su guitarra y empujándola a crear arte una vez más. Encuentra algunos amigos nuevo en el centro comunitario local, e incluso consigue que su papá la mire a los ojos otra vez... o algo así.
¿Pero puede Brynn abrir su corazón para encontrar realmente la belleza propia de la vida, cuando vivir por el futuro significa dejar ir el pasado?
Extracto
(en inglés)
Christian looks at me. I wait for a smart-aleck reply or a smile but get neither. Just his blue eyes sucking me in like a whirlpool. “That’s what I thought you would say. So you just have to keep fighting for it. Keep fighting to get it back.”
My eyes won’t leave his and his won’t leave mine. And he’s cute. God, he’s so cute, I just want to focus on his cuteness. I want that to be all that matters. When his hand comes up and cups my cheek, I gasp. He brushes his thumb under my eye and licks his lips and I’m frozen and on fire and close to having a heart attack and anxious all at the same time.
Slowly, he leans forward and I know he’s giving me time. And my heart is leaping and I want to feel his lips. This is Christian. The boy who asked me to dance. The boy I ran to my mom about and told her that I loved. And now he’s my friend. The first person who has made me feel normal since everything happened.
But I’m so scared. Scared of messing it up. Scared he’ll decide he doesn’t want me. Scared of losing him. Of getting hurt.
He gets closer and I smell his sweet, sugary scent. See his mouth and wet lips and that hair I want to touch.
See the one person besides Emery who I have. The one person I can’t lose. “Wait,” I say and Christian stops moving. He’s still close. So very, very close that his lips are only an inch away from mine. “I’m scared,” I admit.
“I won’t hurt you.”
And I swear a part of me believes him. Maybe all of me. But how do I know if that’s the right decision or not?
He runs his hand down my face and touches my hair. Love that he’s not nervous to do it the way I am with him and I watch his fingers, brown against my red hair.
“Go out with me, Bryntastic. Let’s go do something this weekend. Don’t keep running. I won’t even try to kiss you again unless you tell me to. Or I’ll wait for you to do it. Just let go. Live.”
His words are what I want. I want them so badly and they sound so perfect that it’s hard not to just scream, “Yes!” right now. “Why?” I ask him. “Why are you so nice to me?”
I love his strength. Love that he doesn’t even hesitates before saying, “Because you were my first crush. Because I used to watch you conqueror anything and used to listen to you laugh with your friends. You were happy and I loved your smile. Because I had to work up the courage to ask you to dance and I did, and then I left and the one thing I missed was that smile. I watched my sister lose hers and watched my family fall apart and when I came back here? I wanted to see your smile again. Because you’re beautiful when you smile and you’ve lost it now. I want you to conquer this because what the hell is the purpose in it all if the first girl I ever danced with loses her smile?”
I don’t realize I’m crying until Christian wipes my tears. “You think I’m beautiful?”

Escribir siempre ha sido la pasión de Nyrae Dawn. Ha habido momentos en su vida en los que no ha sido capaz de perseguir ese sueño de la manera en que lo deseaba, pero siempre encuentra su camino de vuelta a contar historias.
Una de sus pasiones siempre ha sido escribir sobre adolescentes. Hay algo tan fresco y divertido de esa edad que le encanta explorar. Su esposo dice que es porque ella no quiere crecer. Ella no se cree eso tan malvado y afortunadamente para ella, él tampoco.
Nyrae se siente atraída por las historias donde los personajes son lo principal. Adora ir en viajes emocionales con los personajes ya sea leyendo o escribiendo. Y sí, es una romántica de corazón y está orgullosa.
Nyrae vive en el soleado sur de California con su esposo (que aún la hace desmayarse) y sus dos fantásticos hijos.
Cuando no está con su familia, puedes estar seguro de que la encontrarás con un libro en una mano o su computador y un documento abierto en frente de ella.
Es representada por Jane Dystel y Goderich Literary Management.
