Seventeen-year-old Ivory Blackwood thought her future was secure: rich New York City girl, perfect grades, glittering plans. Then her father dies. In a heartbeat, Ivy's family loses everything. With no money and nowhere else to go, she, her mom, and her little brother William move to her mother's tiny hometown in Oregon-a place Ivy never planned to see, let alone live. Gone are the city lights, private schools, and parties. In their place: a cramped house, a failing report card, and a town that already seems to have decided who Ivy is. The only person who doesn't fit her new nightmare? Brooks Hayse-her mom's childhood best friend's son. Quiet, steady, and infuriatingly honest, he's the last person Ivy expects to get under her skin. In a life she never chose, Ivy has to decide who she wants to be now-and whether the boy she never saw coming might be the one reason to stay.
