Hey my name is Lauren. When I write I am overwhelmed with wanting to say too much, so I am trying to keep it simple but three characters have blossomed in my head. Cady, Starla and Annie have been friends their whole lives and confirmed themselves best friends the day in sixth grade they decided to eat lunch together forever. All so different but alike in a few ways they re-tell their lives in a way that reflects themselves. From first kisses to heartbreak to starting a family... experience their lives.

Lost in this Moment, Making a Memory and A Beautiful Day are three one-shots that tell the story of Cady's life through her favorite memories. They are the kind of stories that she will tell her daughter as she grows up. While the first one starts off cliched and sappy, think about it, that's how is love when you are in high school. The stories are vague and yet simplistic and traverse from first kiss to co-owning a home.

Starts with Goodbye is a collection of one-shots all the memories of one of Cady's best friends, Starla. Starla who is full of life, lives emotion to emotion and laughs at people who cry in movies, relives her greatest memories, the ones in which she must say good-bye to those she loves. While the romance takes a while to take off, you will realize the power saying good-bye holds over everyone of us.
