Chapter 1 Summary: “Noah”
The novel flashes back to 11 months earlier, on Noah’s 18th birthday. She prepares for her party while thinking of Nick. A scar on her stomach triggers traumatic memories of her father’s death. Her best friend, Jenna, arrives, and they join the party hosted by Noah’s mother, Raffaella, and stepfather, William Leister.
Feeling overwhelmed, Noah speaks with Lion, Nick’s best friend, who tells her Nick asked him to watch over her. Upset that Nick has not called, Noah heads to the bar. Just as she is about to take a tequila shot, Nick makes a surprise entrance. After a passionate kiss in front of the guests, they sneak away for a hurried sexual encounter.
