One Small Thing

From #1 New York Times bestselling author duo Erin Watt comes an addictive new contemporary YA tale of a girl who falls for the boy who inadvertently killed her sister in a car accident-perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Kasie West and Huntley Fitzpatrick.17-year-old Libby's life hasn't been the same since the night two years ago when her older sister Rachel was struck and killed by a passing car driven by a rebellious 15-year-old on a joyride. Since then, Libby's parents have kept her on a tight leash, believing they can keep her safe only by controlling her every move and knowing where she is at all times. But when Libby sneaks out to a party one night and meets Chase, a hot 17-year-old who's new to the area, she's thrilled to make a friend-or maybe more-whom she can keep a secret from her parents.Only she doesn't know how big a secret it really is. Because Chase is actually Charlie, the boy who'd accidentally killed Rachel with his car on a night he'll regret forever. Newly out of juvie, he's been sent to live in a new town with his mother and her new husband, the town's mayor. And though he's determined to start his life over and make amends, the classmates at his new school aren't eager to let him forget the sins of his past. Shockingly, Libby, who has more reason than anyone to want nothing to do with him, is willing to give him a second chance despite what her friends and parents think of him. For her own protection, Chase insists their friendship remain a secret. Yet the more time they spend together, the more their feelings start to deepen-and the more determined Libby becomes to clear Chase's name, even if it costs her relationships with those who mean the most to her.
