3. SID AND TEDDY by H. D. Knightley
Sid and Teddy are best friends. They surf together. They love each other. And maybe finally it’s time for them to be together — but tragedy strikes and interrupts their perfect first kiss, and they get completely stuck in Interrupted.
Because it’s hard to love each other when you’ve been best friends forever. It’s complicated. And the last thing Sid needs is complicated, right?
She needs easy. She needs to take fate by the hand and follow. She needs a hot rock star with a sexy British accent and a lickable jawline to kiss her sadness away.
Probably. But rock stars come with baggage. The kind of baggage that causes Sid to lose her way.
And lost, she desperately needs her best friend Teddy, but is it too much, too late?
