About the book:

The story of Crew Lancaster, an 18-year-old student at Lancaster Prep Boarding School, and Wren Beaumont are followed in A MILLION KISSES IN YOUR LIFE. Their relationship is turbulent but growing. Because Crew Lancaster is a part of the “heritage” of the institution, he has an attitude of ownership and control. Crew Lancaster is more annoyed than ever by Wren Beaumont, so whether or not she wants him to, he makes it his goal to learn everything there is to know about our protagonist. To complete a psychology assignment, Wren and Crew are forced to work together. As they slowly learn more about one another’s lives, our couple grows closer. However, things are not all good at Lancaster Prep when a teacher is discovered to be acting inappropriately. What follows is the growing romance and friendship between Wren and Crew, as well as any potential repercussions when Wren’s overbearing father threatens to put an end to their relationship.

Wren is the focus of Crew Lancaster’s bullying but underneath their combative exchanges, which quickly escalate into more, are an attraction that is hardly disguised. Wren was initially well-liked by the other girls due to her new girl status, but as the cruel girls began to pick on our story’s protagonist, Wren’s popularity gradually waned. Wren is naive to many boy/girl subtleties, yet her naivety is fostered by her family.

The relationship between Crew and Wren is frequently tense and acidic, but Wren is oblivious to Crew’s initial disdain for the protagonist of our story. Working together put our pair into close proximity, pushing them closer to their own happily ever after. The sexual encounters are passionate and private.

Crew’s brothers, Finn and Grant, girlfriend Alyssa, their sister Charlotte, and Wren’s parents Harvey and Cecily are all introduced, as well as Crew’s friends Malcolm and Ezra, Wren’s friend Maggie Gipson, embattled Honors English teacher Mr. Figueroa, psychology teacher Ms. Skov, and the obligatory mean girls.
