The First Buds of Spring : Woodlanders Tetralogy #1

Seventeen-year-old Azalea Wood is everything the girls at Lakebay High aspire to be-popular, beautiful, and perfect. Yet deep down, she desires someone who adores her for whom she truly is rather than the facade she displays on the outside. Fortunately, the arrival of a new boy by the name of Bruce Green flips her fate. Creative, caring, and considerate, he is everything Azalea has wished for. Embarking on a rocky journey of friendship with more than its fair share of bumps and bends, the two of them soon become more than friends. As their relationship solidifies, however, Azalea finds herself dealing with conundrums and dilemmas she never imagined she would be facing. When the revelation of the Greens' family secret propels her to confront a difficult truth, Azalea learns to grasp and appreciate the meaning of love and makes a decision that will change her life forever.
