About the Book
Together is somewhere they long to be.
Eden Moore has long had an academic rivalry with Ash Gupta, a guy who seems to have everything going exactly as he wants. He’s admired by his peers and getting the kind of grades that his wealthy, immigrant parents expect. But Eden knows, for Ash, she is an obstacle– the sharp-tongued girl from the wrong side of the tracks who stands in his path to becoming valedictorian.
All Eden’s ever wanted was a way out. Her perfect GPA should be enough to guarantee her a free ride to college — and an exit from her trailer-park existence for good. The last thing she needs is another battle with Ash, who wants a prized scholarship for his own selfish reasons. Or so she thinks. . .
When Eden ends up working with Ash on a class project, she discovers that the two have more in common than either of them could have imagined. They’re both in pursuit of a dream — one that feels within reach thanks to their new connection. But what does the future hold for two passionate souls from totally different worlds?

Reviews
“An engaging read…full of drama.”
– School Library Journal
“Julia Day’s modern day tale of Romeo and Juliet meets Pride and Prejudice will touch your heart.”
– Katie McGarry, bestselling author of Pushing The Limits
“As a romance that reaches across class and ethnicity, then, this refreshes centuries-old dilemmas and effectively situates them in a contemporary classroom. Day ably nuances the social prejudices of a small town, and the classic romance ending points to the possibility of a redemptive future.”
– Bulletin for the Center for Children’s Books
“Raw and intense, yet sensitive and touching. Eden is a smart, independent heroine who isn’t going to let circumstances define her—or let others box her in. Enriched with diverse, well-drawn supporting characters, this is a story that will keep you hooked till the very end. I adored it!”
– Vanessa Barneveld, author of This is Your Afterlife
