And then I jump. I am lying on my stomach, lying on thin air. It reminds me of when I was a kid on school camp and we went abseiling. The feeling of lying  on your back and holding yourself up with just a rope. This is like that only 200 times more intense.The air flies through me and I remember to pull the string to my parachute. It inflates and pulls me up with a light jerk, then letting me sail down. I am a seagull in free fall. I am a ballet dancer leaping and spinning. I am a singer with my song played on the radio for the first time. I am Rose Jane Dawson, and I am freefalling.

Rose is a sensible girl, and she spends most of her life blending in to the background, but when her best friend in the world decides she needs a life, everything changes. If it’s for better or worse, we are yet to find out.

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.
