Despite all the fear, panic and the voice inside her, Hayden Kendricks still sent that one message to Parker Graham, the university girl offering her a room. After one year of hell, nightmares and pain, she's completely done. She's desperate for a room on the other side of the country with one simple demand; that her host is a female. So when she ends up being a he, what does Hayden do?
During the wait to switch place, she grows quite attached to the care, kindness, humor, simplicity and courage the five boys show her. She grows attached to the stubbornness and love that feed their will not to give up on including her in everything.
So what happens when the paralyzing book of her nightmares once more opens and is read out loud for not only her, but now, also those five boys? Easy. She tries running away again. But...
She underestimates the love that those boys have towards her, because they're willing to do everything and anything, except letting her go. Except letting her remain broken. They're gonna do everything and anything, to Fix Her.
And who knows?
Maybe, despite the lies, the broken hearts, tears, and that one man behind everything, things can get better?
Maybe, the strong love of five boys, each one different from the other, can force its way through the thick walls around Her?
Or maybe...
Fear will end up being stronger than love?

I have always been bullied and trapped in darkness. I hoped life would get better when I moved to my mother's hometown, but it only got worse because it was there that I met my unrequited crush, Hayden Black.
He despised me from day one, and even more when I became best friends with his twin, Kayden. Kayden gave light to my life, but my happiness with him lasted only until one night two years ago.
That night Kayden died because of me.
Half of me died with him. The other half was left to bleed, suffering Hayden's and his friends' constant bullying.
Now I must endure one more year before I can finally escape them and go to college. This year has to be different.
Either I will become stronger, or they will finally break me into nothing.
