There are two sides to every story. It’s friends-at-first-sight for Jessie and Annie, proving the old adage that opposites attract. Shy, anxious Jessie would give anything to have Annie’s beauty and confidence. And Annie thinks Jessie has the perfect life, with her close-knit family and killer grades. They're BFFs . . . until suddenly they're not. Told through alternating points of view, How It Ends is the story of a friendship from first meeting to breakup, set against a tumultuous sophomore year of bullying, boys, and backstabbing. Catherine Lo makes her debut with an honest, nuanced tale about the intricacies of female friendship.

After moving right before senior year, all Presley Donovan wants is to finish her high school career tucked away in the shadows of a new school. She’s worked hard to graduate with honors and has every intention of heading off to her dream school in the fall; however, thanks to a chance of fate, a pushy new best friend, and the underhanded workings of her mother, Presley’s plans are about to change. Brice Harte has single-handedly put Williams Point High School on the map. Captain of the baseball team and owner of a golden arm, Brice is used to girls flocking to him on a daily basis. On the outside, he is the picture of high school royalty, but on the inside, Brice hides a deep secret. Will the arrival of a new student threaten Brice’s existence, do Presley’s lifelong plans even stand a chance, or will their lives be drastically changed forever? The setting may be high school, but this is anything but.Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, and naughty language. Intended for mature audiences.About the Author Catherine Charles currently resides in a small town in Texas with her husband, two children, and two goldendoodles. She was born an army brat, spending her childhood moving every two years. Born in Germany, she spent the first half of her life roaming across Europe and surrounding countries before moving stateside. Though her travels have taken her all over the world, a cattle farm in small-town Nebraska is where she calls home. Big cities are nice for the wine-loving foodie, but at the end of the day, nothing beats a small-town bar. Strong women are her forte, damsels in distress don’t stand a chance in her books, and the men that fall for these fiercely independent women will only bring out their best. Her works will give you butterflies, but will also have you yelling in anger. No emotion goes untouched, and tissue warnings are a given. Sit back and lose yourself in one of her books; you never know where her characters will take you, and usually, neither does she.
