I'll Never Finish This Book

Book excerpt: ELAINA RHODES is an NYU student with a low paying job, not enough money to afford to live in New York, and no idea what she's majoring in. Luckily, her parents' friends decided to cover her expenses, as long as she writes a book for them to publish and sell at their company. She has to meet the deadline and secure her future. Simple enough, right? Except, she has a severe case of writer's block. Elaina crosses the street, failing to look both ways when she is nearly hit by a car. ELI HAYES steps out of the car and into her world. Although an unusual way to meet, this encounter sparks a relationship that changes everything. Eli offers to help with her book for nothing in return except her company. They go on adventures and are put in situations that inspire the book's pages- and their lives. As the plot of Elaina's book develops, so does their friendship. That is, until something from Eli's past steps into their lives that risks their friendship, the book, and Elaina's entire future. Is their friendship strong enough to handle it? Will Elaina finish her book? Or will she lose it all?
