It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.

Alexandra Berrington: the high school punk and troublemaker - the one who scares even the toughest of teachers and students. She is high school royalty, and anyone who forgets their place is stepped on. Most think she was born without a heart - only a black hole of cold anger where there should be compassion. Like all teenagers, Alex is just trying to make it to graduation and live the life she wants. That wish seems far off when her abusive ex-boyfriend shows up. With a nerd getting closer and closer to discovering her darkest secrets, graduation is the last thought on her mind. For once, Alex will choose, but this choice could be her last.
