They found something real with each other—while they were both still committed to someone else.

From the moment Will and Sarah meet, their connection feels impossible to ignore. There’s only one very complicated problem: they each already have a significant other. What begins as a dangerous attraction quickly grows into something deeper, forcing them to question their current relationships and what they are willing to risk for a chance to be together.

Even if Will and Sarah make their relationship official, their problems are far from over. At the end of the summer, Will is leaving for college while Sarah must remain behind to complete her senior year of high school. Distance, mismatched schedules, jealousy, temptation, and the way their relationship began all threaten to pull them apart.

If they were both willing to cheat to be together, how can either of them trust that it won’t happen again?

Readers enjoy While You’re Away for its messy, complicated romance and honest exploration of attraction, infidelity, trust, temptation, and commitment. It’s an angsty young adult love story that doesn’t offer an easy beginning or a perfect relationship—just two flawed people trying to decide whether what they share is worth fighting for.

Why you’ll love it:

• Immediate forbidden attraction
• Love triangle drama
• Long-distance relationship
• College boy and high school senior
• Jealousy and temptation
• Messy, morally complicated characters
• Trust issues and relationship angst
• Small-town young adult romance
• Questions of loyalty, forgiveness, and commitment

Perfect for readers who love dramatic YA romance, flawed characters, complicated relationships, emotional separation, and stories that explore whether love can survive a messy beginning.

What is a Rescued Book?

A Rescued Book is a previously loved book that still has plenty of story left to give. It may show signs of its past life—like cover wear, bent corners, creases, markings, or other imperfections—but it’s still ready to be read and loved again.

What kind of wear or damage should I expect?

Every rescued book is different! You may find scuffs, creases, worn edges, stickers, writing, or other signs of previous ownership. Some may have only minor cosmetic flaws, while others are a little more well-loved. The imperfections are part of their story.

Why choose a Rescued Book instead of buying new?

Because great stories deserve another chapter! Rescued Books are a budget-friendly way to discover your next read while giving a perfectly readable book a new home. Plus, there’s something special about knowing your book has already been part of someone else’s reading journey—and now it gets to be part of yours.
