Seventeen and stuck in between being a child and an adult, Kenley Evans is struggling to navigate life after losing her best friend and then her older sister. Cora Evans was the life of the party, the girl that boys loved and the the daughter her parent's couldn't handle. She would fill Kenley's mind with stories of wild, romantic adventures, going missing into her own world for days at a time until, one day, she never made it back.
Ezra Madden was the neighbour Kenley never wanted and soon became the best friend her 5 year old self had been waiting for. From the moment he moved in, they became Kenley and Ezra. You couldn't have one without the other. But as little kids grow into teenagers, friendships change.
All at once, Kenley found herself living a life without her sister, with no best friend to lean on. There are so many emotions to feel, but she only feels numb. In an attempt to escape her world, Kenley sees the hole left behind by Cora and decides to fill it. Armed with Cora's ID, Kenley discovers the world Cora lived in wasn't as magical and beautiful as her stories. It was dangerous but exhilarating and when she was in it, she finally felt alive again.
When an old friend returns, all of Kenley's secrets are threatened. How long can she keep this act up? How long can she run from the truth for?
Seventeen is confusing. It's painful and crazy and can knock the breathe right out of your chest. But you are alive, and thats what matters.
