My Heart to Give

Girls fall in love with what they hear.

Quinn Thompson

I’m head over heels in love with Maiken Maxwell. Everything about him is so perfect from his sandy-blond hair to his kissable lips. Not to mention, he writes me poems. My stomach is constantly filled with butterflies from his sweet words to how special and pretty he makes me feel. Until one girl, one funeral, and one disastrous moment shatters everything.

Maiken Maxwell

My life has been a series of the good, the bad, and the ugly. My junior year is starting off with a bang. My brother Marcus,now a freshman in high school, is out of control—fighting and mouthing off to teachers. I shouldn’t care so much. After all, he’s a teenager who is trying to find his way, trying to fit in. But I do care. I’m his big brother. But when a new girl waltzes into our lives, the three things that matter the most to me—family, Quinn Thompson, and basketball slowly become a distant memory.
