It's Live: Something in the way by Jessica Hawkins

"Jessica Hawkins weaves a tale of forbidden love in epic proportion. Something in the Way is brilliant and I'm craving more. Manning and Lake are the star-crossed lovers you'll root for in 2017."

—Corinne Michaels, New York Times Bestselling Author

Even though I saw him first, that didn’t matter. My older sister saw him next.

It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents’ house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Yet we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn’t be broken...no matter how hard we tried.

I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. I was too young, he said. I would wait. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, through his struggle to keep me innocent, and through infinitely-starry nights—I would wait. But I’d learn that life isn’t always fair. That no matter how much you achieve, none of it matters if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn’t matter. My older sister saw him next.
