To the world, Allie was the perfectly
happy, spoiled girlfriend. Trip was the rich popular boy
who gave her everything she could possibly need or want.
Sure, Allie had some enemies in town, but it was nothing
Allie couldn’t handle. What everyone didn’t know was what
happened behind the scenes. And then, the accident
happened... The night Trip died in the accident, Allie
lost everything including her memory of the event. With no
recollection of the events, Allie is left scarred and
guilt-stricken. As she and the town mourn Trip’s loss,
Trip’s family and the detective they hired are suspicious
of Allie and her best friend Blake. Throughout the book,
the mystery of Trip’s death is paralleled by Allie’s
journey of forgiveness and her ability to open up and
express herself in order to accept new love and move on.
If you want to know the truth about Allie’s car accident
and Trip’s death, read Breaking Beautiful. (From
