Shards of You and Me by Bird, Tanya NEUF économies

Hes the bad influence theyre always warning us about.

And Im the girl who should know better.

Hunter Reed is off limits. Not only because hes a walking grenade who talks with his fists but because he doesnt worship the right God.

We grew up adjacent, not together. Our houses are divided by a creek, but our lives are divided by our prejudices, our pain, and a religion I dont have the courage to leave. But lately I find myself unable to look away from him. Hes seeping in, becoming the best and worst parts of this small-town life. And I have no idea what to do with these feelings growing inside me.

Whatever this is between us, its going to destroy us both...

Annie Wilson is a Jehovahs Witness, a good girl, and deeply unhappy. Everyone can see that. Shes just too busy knocking on peoples doors to realise it. But theres a shift in her lately. Shes waking up and getting curious about the world shes been shielded from. And of all the people she could turn to during her rebellious stage, she picks me.

I dont know why I play along. Maybe to stop her from doing something shell regret. But wheres the line? Because theres no coming back from the place were headed.

Annie can pray all she wants, but no God of hers can save us from each other...
