Sophie Hudson is the human equivalent to a ray of sunshine. It's been said that she's never had a single bad outburst in her life. She's hardly ever seen without a smile on her face, and she can make anyone's day instantly a little brighter. Although even the girl born with streams of sunlight in her veins can be pushed to her limits and snap eventually. She wasn't prepared for the shady side of life, so when it hits her unexpectedly, she needs a hand getting pulled out of it. And that extremity just might belong to someone dangerously close to her. Her brother's best friend.

*COMING EVENTUALLY * [SPIN-OFF OF "THE STRENGTH OF US"] There's always been something missing in Nicolette's life. Up until just a few years ago, she found it - her twin sister that she'd been separated from nearly at birth. Though that still feels like it wasn't quite all that was missing. Nicolette is more than the girl her sister tracked down just days before their seventeenth birthday. She's in a brand new city on the east coast, hoping to leave her midwest roots behind and start over. She's older, wiser, and sadly, she's lonelier. When worlds collide and tragedy strikes, Nicolette ends up finding sanctuary in the one person her twin can't stand. Twisted lies are weaved, pasts are uncovered, and hearts are broken. As the saying goes, let bygones be bygones, but how can you let them go when they hit so damn close to home? Life is tough in your twenties. It's even tougher when you're Nicolette Knox.
