Maddie + Max - by Megan Effertz

Book Synopsis

Maddie + Max is a tale of enduring love. One that endures time and one that binds so tight, it breaks hearts.

When Maddie and Max meet, it's like old souls coming home. But love looks different depending on what side of the tracks you're standing on. For Maddie, loving comes easy, given freely, no strings attached. For Max, love is hard, something to be earned, something he doesn't think he deserves.

Stealing time alone together is their sweet secret, until Max's own secret eventually pulls them a part. Years later, an unexpected encounter leads Maddie and Max to a moment of passion. The aftermath leaves Maddie dealing with a surprise secret of her own, one that she can't reveal to Max.

Maddie runs from Max. Dreams of him haunt her as she tries to move on. When she thinks she is over him, the universe thrusts them back together, giving them their chance to reveal secrets.

Max doesn't know how to love Maddie without hurting her. When he witnesses her accident, he's afraid he's lost her forever.
