"What happens in the library stays in the library." Eighteen-year-old Eliott Lynch spends his nights cleaning at the town's public library, and his days attending interview after interview, desperately trying to claw back some sort of future career after his parents allowed him to drop out of high school at sixteen. After finally getting through the first round of an interview, not only does he go to work, but he invites a bottle of vodka to join him. But what happens after the bottle is empty will leave him wondering whether or not his drink was spiked. Dove Kennedy is a seventeen-year-old high school graduate who is moving onto one of the top universities in the world. Life couldn't get much better for Dove, which makes a change from her usual situation of it has to start getting better soon, after being in the centre of rumours that her place in university had been bought by her overly rich and obnoxious parents, showing how little her parents showed about their true selves. Dove's parents all but disowned her after she decided to pursue a career in the music industry, and only refrained from kicking her out of the house for the sake of public appearance. But having nowhere to go after running out of the house when a heated argument between her and her father ends badly, she finds herself winding up in the back of the local library, hiding until closing time.

"The last thing Laney wants is to be seen. Not really seen." After running from a past she refuses to talk about, Laney is just trying to keep her head down and survive senior year. New town, new school, new friends-none of them know the truth, and she plans to keep it that way. But secrets don't stay buried forever, especially when you have a best friend who won't stop pushing, a flirt who sees past your walls, and a past that refuses to let go. Between late-night skate park meetups, whispered fights, and a tension she doesn't know how to name, Laney realizes that sometimes, hiding hurts more than being seen. And Aiden? He's making it a lot harder to hide.
