Sometimes your first love becomes your forever love.
Jeff expects his trip home to Nevada to be as dull as dirt. Dry weather, boring people, the same old faces—he hates visiting his hometown. But this year, something unexpected happens: he runs into Jamie.
Jamie, Jeff's best friend since kindergarten, knows all of Jeff's secrets and flaws. Oh, and Jeff may or may not have kissed Jamie a few times in those tumultuous teenage years... Fine… maybe it was more than just a few times, but who’s counting?
Seeing Jamie again stirs up old feelings, ones he’s finally ready to explore.
