It is that time of the year again, when the streets are crowded and the trees are laced with feathers of snow. The joy of Christmas is all that matters to most. But not to Avery Grey.
Since her father became passive and her mother died years ago, Avery has been lying to herself, contradicting her own opinions, battling with multiple mindsets that form within her. She does this on impulse, but when things get out of hand, she cannot distinguish the truth from the lies.
What will happen if she cannot let go of the truth and destroy the lies? What will happen if she can't set her life back in place?
What if she cannot become Avery Grey again?

Losing Grip
Senior year had never seemed so daunting. After her sister died, Avery found out just how much she hid behind Riley and how comfortable it had been to live through her stories instead of living her own. Realizing that and making a change, however, were two different things, as Avery soon understood. But life had not given her much of a choice. Maintaining a safe distance between herself and all those who used to know Riley was her miserable attempt at dealing with the grief. But she saw her strategic plan crumble, forced to face the friends she had been pushing away. The year she believed she could breeze through was revealing itself to be the year she must face all the pain she had been repelling. And there was no one to hide behind now.
