This Song Is (Not) For You by Laura Nowlin

This Song Is (Not) For You — Annotated Edition

She loved him first.
He loved someone else.

And then… everything got complicated.

Ramona and Sam have always been inseparable, best friends, band mates, everything in between.

She fell for him the moment they met.

But some lines?

Because losing him would mean losing everything.

The one who changes everything.

And suddenly, it’s not just one love story anymore.

Because Ramona is falling for him too…without falling out of love with Sam.
