Summary
Rio Vidal lives a quiet, quaint life on her houseboat in northern New Zealand, tending to her plants and the occasional text from her daughter, away at college.
On a day like any other day, the winding course of her path is interrupted by a woman, seemingly falling out of the sky -- and right into her lap.
What does it take to fall in love with somone? Familiarity? Time? Recognition? Rio has none of that and yet, her descent begins the moment their palms touch, and an unbelievable journey across the world unfurls in front of her.

Summary
Jackie had about a million questions, none of which she could voice out loud without sounding pathetic. How long had Shauna been in town? Did she ever think about Jackie? Did she regret any of it? Did she miss her?
Do you miss me? She imagined going back and asking her, pictured the sneer that would color Shauna’s face and the cool indifference in her voice when she inevitably told her no. It was better, Jackie figured, not to know.
Or: everything in Jackie's life is coming together perfectly—she's a college graduate with a steady boyfriend and a sunny future awaiting her in California—until, three years after blowing up their friendship for good, Shauna Shipman crash-lands into all her plans.

Summary
They've been at college for an entire semester, and Shauna is really fucking sick of the Jackie-Jeff rollercoaster. So, when Jeff dumps Jackie right before winter break, Shauna decides she's willing to do pretty much anything to keep them broken up. Jackie just wants to feel wanted, so what harm can a few messages from a new account really do?
Meanwhile, Jackie is trying to figure out how to keep her biggest secret under wraps, now that Jeff has royally fucked her over and totally blown her cover. She'd just wanted one year out of the house, before having to worry about what not having a boyfriend meant for her.
