Jonathan, a 17-year-old boy with a ready smile, is the sarcastic soul of the school, the one with a joke on the tip of his tongue... but it's all a facade. Behind that forced cheerfulness lies an abyss: alcohol and tobacco addiction, deep depression, an eating disorder, and a hell at home where his father physically and psychologically abuses him. When his truth comes to light, Jonathan is committed to an exclusive institution for young men with mental disorders. There, while battling the demons within, he meets five boys as broken as he is: one obsessed with control, one with a bipolar disorder, another with uncontrollable rages, one trapped in delusions, another who hasn't spoken in years, and now, one who seems perfect... until he isn't.

Then one day, Harken appears at his door, and suddenly his past is back to haunt him.

I wrote it right this time" "Rider With A Y' is NOT right." - Ryder is a bad boy, or at least that's what he wants everyone to think. He tries to act like a bully, edgy, and cruel, and it works for the most part. Spencer doesn't like to be called a nerd but deep down he knows he is to a certain extent. He is bored of everything and he sees the good in people, but will he find any good in Ryder?

Kai Reyes is the perfect son-at least, in his mother's eyes. He's polite, talented, and kind, but his father and grandparents only see his "pointless" hobbies. Breakdancing is a passion they don't understand, and being bi is a secret only his mom knows. Liam Mercer is the opposite of perfect. Star soccer player, golden boy, the kind of person everyone loves... and Kai hates. Ever since a childhood football incident, Liam has made it his mission to make Kai's life miserable, from pranks to endless teasing. They're enemies. Rivals. Constantly at each other's throats. And thanks to their moms' lifelong friendship, they're also neighbors-forced together for every awkward, frustrating, and electric moment. Kai can't ignore the way Liam gets under his skin... and Liam, despite himself, can't stop noticing Kai. Enemies? Definitely. Rivals? Absolutely. Lovers? Maybe... if they survive high school without burning everything down.

"Oh come on, you're like a genius and you've been studying so much I was starting to miss you." "Only starting?" I teased. "I don't do well without you Jet Plane." He smiled at me.

But it didn't really matter how Connor looked at him because they were just friends and nothing more. Well besides that one drunken hookup that Jetson couldn't get out of his head. ⚠️content warnings: rape, grooming, mentions of suicide and suicidal thoughts, addiction, depression, drunk driving {book two in Crossing Lines series}
