What comes after heartbreak?
Lia and Beck. Beck and Lia. Despite their parents' military careers orbiting them in and out of each other's worlds, Lia knows they are destined to be together. It's more than their friendship and chemistry. When Lia's mum was a teen, a fortune teller said her daughter would fall in love with her best friend's son. Lia and Beck were always meant to be. Or so they thought.
When tragedy steals Beck away, Lia is devastated. She lived her life by her mother's old fortune. If she was fated to be with Beck, and he is gone, who is she supposed to be?
And is there room in her broken heart for life, let alone new love?
Everything I Promised You is a heartbreaking - but satisfyingly compelling - portrait of grief, growth and acceptance from an exciting voice in young adult romance.
