I'm Gonna Get You Back by Eva Des Lauriers

For fans of Lynn Painter, Tillie Cole, Laura Nowlin, and Gossip Girl, this second chance love story follows two exes who return to their small town where competitive former classmates, explosive secrets shared from an anonymous social media account, and friendship fallouts threaten to tear them apart—again.

Reid Rousseau has always been a winner. Now, he's a former state champion runner with an injury no one can know about and a college scholarship on the line. When he’s invited as the guest of honor for Legacy Weekend, a competitive tradition that welcomes high school alumni back to their small mountain town, Reid would rather run away than face his crumbling future—and the girl who broke his heart.

Clara Suarez’s legacy can’t be failure. A year out of high school and aimless, she has one last shot at getting into her dream film school: creating a Legacy Weekend video interviewing her former classmates—including Reid, her ex—about their explosive senior year and the scandal that capped it off. But any time people return to the mountain, drama follows . . . especially when an anonymous social media account starts airing everyone's dirty laundry.

Reid isn’t the only one hiding something, and Clara isn’t the only one with regrets. Their spark is still strong enough to set off a wildfire, but their secrets might just tear them apart for good.
