Jumping Off Swings by Jo Knowles

Jumping Off Swings by Jo Knowles

Ellie remembers how the boys kissed her. Touched her. How they begged for more. And when she gave it to them, she felt loved. For a while anyway.

No matter what Ellie chooses, all four teenagers will be forced to grow up a little faster as a result. Told alternately… Read more.
