Briar Chiem has only ever had choices in her life. Her parents made sure of that, and she knows for a fact it has everything to do with her terrible, hypocritical grandfather. At least that's what her dad's bestselling book series makes him out to be anyway. And when they visit him for the summer to make amends, she sees for herself what he's really like and the choices set before her.
