To Fall So Deep

Summary

After a fire leaves nothing but ashes, scars, and heartbreaking memories, 17-year-old Nina Dela Vera and her younger sister are burned with the loss of their mother. With only their estranged father as a legal guardian, both sisters are forced to drop their lives in beautiful Monterey County, California, to a traditional and suburban town across the ocean to Ashford, Kent, England.

While trying to adapt to a new culture in a school brimming with rich students, Nina meets Harry Styles. Charismatic, handsome, and suave, Harry had Ashford Academy wrapped around his fingers. While the entire school sees him as the kid who has it all, he hides burdens, and fears; afraid to let anyone in. That is, until Nina walked straight into his heart and stole it. But as their feelings for one another continued to grow, the status quo of their lives kept pushing them apart. Nina and Harry must fight against family, and social class to be together, because when you fall so deep, there isn't anything you wouldn't do for love.

Commenting is the least I can do to tell you how much I love and appreciate your story, and it doesn't take too much time to do so, so I figure why not comment? But oh my gosh, I cannot believe that was the last chapter and all that's left is an epilogue. And this chapter just… I think it slightly killed me - more than you already nonliterally have that is - when you killed her off and then with Harry and everything. And freaking Jezabelle… Don't even get me started on how much I want to murder that bitch right now. The chapter is written beautifully nonetheless, and I can't wait for the epilogue. xx
