What Melody Keeps - Paperback

by Monika Dutchover (Author)

Hope was always the dangerous part.

She has rules for a reason.

No dating in the friend group.

No catching feelings.

And always leave before they get the chance to leave you.

For eighteen-year-old Melody, surviving has always been easier than trusting. Keeping people at arm's length means no one gets close enough to hurt her-not after everything she's spent years trying to outrun.

Then Alex ruins everything.

He's patient when she's impossible. Protective when she doesn't want protecting. And somehow, he keeps seeing the girl she's spent years trying to hide.

But hope has a way of asking for everything.

Set against the shores of Lake Tahoe during the MySpace era, What Melody Keeps is an emotionally charged contemporary romance about first love, healing, and the terrifying risk of believing you deserve more than survival.
