A summer bucket list—it seems easy, right? At least, that’s what my best friend thought when she decided to force me off the couch and out into the real world. Some things are simple: learn to do makeup, eat spicy food. But some of the things on the list are only there to torture me: kiss a stranger, have a one-night stand, fall in love—yeah, right. This summer bucket list takes me on an adventure, an adventure that leads me right into the arms of a very sexy—but very annoying—man who pushes me to fulfill every single agonizing and embarrassing challenge on that list for his own sick amusement. He gets under my skin like nobody can, and I hate the effortless way he can control my body, making me want things that I repeatedly tell myself I need to avoid. If this summer bucket list doesn’t kill me, the heartbreak of losing the man I refuse to love surely will.
