Sometimes you meet someone and your universe sort of just explodes, because even the sea gets tired of happy endings. Life is tragic and I witnessed a tragedy. ** After three years of keeping dark secrets, eighteen year old Helen Kumar wants to unveil it all. She knows who killed Sebastian, the boy who almost burned her alive, but is there really more to it? With the help of her best friend, a lost girl, and a broken boy, Helen plunges into the dark void of an even darker mystery. Little does she know that it's not only about Sebastian anymore; it's about her too, and everyone else.

For Jessalyn and her mom, moving to the small town of Avondale, California seemed like the perfect decision; they wanted the new scenery but what they really needed was a new start. Jessalyn Hartley had always been shy and one to keep to herself, but now, as she enters her final year of high school at Crestview High, she's more determined than ever to stay hidden in the shadows. However, all of that may change when she crosses paths with the supposed bad boy; Cason Michaels, and figures out that maybe she just had to meet the right person to break her out of her shell.

"As I sat on the toilet, I realized how badass I was being. First of all, I (kind of) broke into Walmart; Second, I was (kind of) plotting to steal toilet paper; and third, I was doing all this while a hurricane was brewing outside." Ellie wanted a quick trip to Walmart to buy some toilet paper for her mom. A minute in, a minute out. Instead, she got locked in. With her secret love, of course.
