The Secret Year by Jennifer Hubbard



How do you get over someone who was never yours to begin with?

Colt was with Julia for a year, but nobody else knew about it. Julia lived on Black Mountain Road in a mansion--with servants--and had a country-club boyfriend to complete the package. Colt definitely didn't come from Black Mountain, and no one would have understood why they were together. But it never mattered to them. Until Julia dies in an accident right before her senior year, and Colt is suddenly the only one who knows their secret. He tries to pretend that his life is the same as ever, but he's haunted by memories of Julia. Things get worse after the journal she kept about their romance falls into his hands. Colt searches every entry for answers: Did Julia really love him? Was he somehow to blame for her death? But the ultimate question--one nobody can answer--is how he's supposed to get over someone who was never really his to begin with.

==Interesting short story. Kind of cliche with the rich girl and poor guy. The richies verses the ones from the other side of the tracks. Yawn. But what was interesting is hearing from the guy's point of view. Yeah it was a little raunchy with the sex details. Definitely not a young YA novel. And at the end, nothing was really accomplished. But I liked it. Fast read too.==
