Faultless by Marie Socray

Losing your best friend is painful, but being forgotten by him is something else entirely.

Seven years ago, Alex Pierce lost his best friend without an explanation, and he’s spent every day trying to forget the boy who disappeared from his life. Fresh out of a four-year relationship, Alex is determined to keep his head down, avoid stress, and survive college without reopening old wounds. But letting go was never Alex’s strong suit, especially when unanswered questions and unresolved feelings still lingered.
River Moore learned early on how to keep moving forward without looking back. After transferring schools and earning a starting position on the basketball team, the college athlete strives to maintain his familiar lifestyle. It’s the only way he knows how to move forward with the mistakes he refuses to confront.
When fate pulls them together again, Alex expects closure. What he doesn’t expect is River looking at him like a stranger, and insisting he doesn’t know Alex at all.
As buried memories and old feelings resurface, the childhood friends are forced to confront what was lost all those years ago. Some losses hurt more than being forgotten, and some second chances come at a cost neither of them expected.
