As an eighth grade girl with more than enough problems already, fourteen year old Alex is less than delighted to be starting at her new school in North Carolina, Bennison Junior High, in less than a week, leaving her best friends Sophie, Bella, and Mina behind in Tennessee.
Anxiety and depression aren't helping matters, either. Long nights of texting and laughing with Sophie have slowly morphed into long nights laying awake in bed, using every last ounce of will power trying to keep from reaching for her pocket knife laying on her bedside table....
Who knows what Bennison JH will bring; maybe new friends and new opportunities, but it's starting to look more like it might bring challenges to hard to even come out of okay.
