"They called me a breakdown waiting to happen. He didn't see a breakdown. He saw me."
I see people. The way they travel through life like a blurred stream of light. I am one of them, these people, and we're all light blasting together from one place to another. We're all trying to be a part of the world, and yet not be a part of it. Like we're trying to ball the world up into our hands and hold onto it. That's me. Trying to capture it. The world. To keep it with me awhile before it goes away.
My mom is a traveler, and she takes me with her everywhere. I am ashamed. I am proud. I want to catch her and make the world stop spinning. Maybe make it spin backwards, so that she is changed.
The worst part is the fear I see when people look at me. As if I'm her. As if I'm going to be her. I'm not. But I wish I was. Because she doesn't see our world. She has her own, and it's beautiful.
Her life. Her extraordinary world.
My name is Reagan Lawson, a seventeen-year-old seasoned traveler without a passport.
My life. My origami world.
His name is Matthew Moretti. Senior basketball star, handsome, and as far from my complicated world as he can get, he surprises me with his interest, with the way he pulls me into a world I didn't want any part of.
Until now.
His life. His surprising world.
Genre: Young Adult Romance
