by Samantha Young"I know how to watch my back. I'm the only one that ever has." India Maxwell hasn't just moved across the country-she's plummeted to the bottom rung of the social ladder.

But India's not alone in struggling to control the secrets of her past. Eloise and Finn, the school's golden couple, aren't all they seem to be. In fact, everyone's life is infinitely more complex than it first appears. And as India grows closer to Finn and befriends Eloise, threatening the facades that hold them together, what's left are truths that are brutal, beautiful and big enough to change them forever... From New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young comes a story of friendship, identity and acceptance that will break your heart-and make it whole again.
