Laoise Gibson had never quite mastered the art of belonging. She drank too much at parties, laughed at the wrong moments, and always seemed just a little too loud for quiet rooms. She called it a coping mechanism. But when the worst thing that ever happened to you happened years ago, when does coping become the only way you know how to live?
Joey Lynch never wasted time imagining a future. His plan had always been painfully simple, he'd get his siblings out of that house, then simply disappear. Until then, he'd settle for borrowed silence. Powder on a mirror, a needle in his arm, anything that could quiet his mind for a few precious moments. If it cost him years of his life, so be it. He didn't plan to live that long anyways.
Maybe they were always destined to find each other.
Or maybe it all began the day the Gibson girl crashed her brother's car and met the self-destructive mechanic who knew exactly how to fix everything except himself.
