The Part I Kept
Seventeen-year-old Sloane Bennett knows how to fix a wrong note.
People are harder.
She’s supposed to be practicing for her scholarship audition and planning a life beyond Silver Ridge. Then Julian Reed walks into her world in a worn brown coat—and fails to appear in a reflection.
He listens when she plays. She notices things he wishes she wouldn’t.
As Sloane falls for Julian, the questions she’s asking begin to reach beyond him. Someone has changed her friend’s artwork. The town’s records have gaps. And staying quiet is starting to cost more than speaking up.
Told through twelve letters to the best friend who moved away, The Part I Kept brings you into Sloane’s life as first love collides with the future she’s worked so hard to earn. Some things can be corrected. Some things deserve to be kept.
