Popstars in the Backyard

Six years. One accident. A chance to rewrite their ending.
Andi Cooper spent six years trying to forget Ryker Thomas—her former best friend who walked away and never looked back. Now he’s one of the biggest
popstars in the world, and she’s just trying to survive the summer before senior year.
Then fate intervenes. When an accident throws them back together, Andi wakes up with no memory of
what tore them apart—and hallucinations that won’t stop. The only thing that makes them disappear? Him.
Ryker’s returning home one last time before moving to LA, but saving Andi’s life changes everything. She doesn’t remember the fight. She doesn’t remember
why he left. And hiding her condition from the media hounding his every move is nearly impossible.
Now they’re trapped in forced proximity, with the past erased and the spotlight closing in. Can she trust the boy who abandoned her? Can he protect her from the truth that broke them the first time?
