This was one of my favorite books as a young adult.

Lauren has always been in love with Spencer. In junior high, they were best friends. When they reached high school, however, Lauren was labeled a geek, while Spencer became one of the hottest guys in school.

Suddenly, Spencer withdraws from his popular crowd and takes back up with Lauren. She is thrilled--until she discovers Spencer is hiding a dark and tragic past. Will Lauren be able to save Spencer from himself? The answer will surprise you.
