Facts and Feelings

“I was in love with you when we were something, and I was in love with you when we were nothing.”

Two childhood best friends. Ten years of estrangement. One crumpled letter that could change everything.

Gracie Sinclair is on her own, because it’s safer that way. Love looks like the death of her mother, childhood abuse from her father, and a devastating breakup with her best friend turned boyfriend, Danny Thompson. Inside jokes and soft-spoken dreams weren’t enough to keep them together. After years of building walls to guard her heart, one mysterious letter threatens to tear them down.

Danny Thompson knew what love was when he was ten years old—and it looked like Gracie Sinclair rubbing his back while he suffered secret panic attacks. After a decade of yearning for his first love, professional football player Danny is shocked to see her in the stands at his playoff game. And he won’t risk fumbling his chance to rewrite the ending of their love story.

Told in alternating timelines between their past and present, Facts and Feelings shares the story of two people whose love spans a lifetime; as neighborhood kids whispering through walkie talkies, teens clinging to each other through trauma, college students planning their shared future, and adults hoping for a second chance at forever.
