"School's full of kids who try to act cool, but who grew up basically cut off from the normal world except for the internet and social media. So except for "friends" online, all 127 kids at Avery High only have each other for friends, allies, and enemies. You get pretty used to the kids around you. You find out pretty soon who you get along with, and who you don't. But because you can't just ignore the people you don't like, you have to develop a really useful trait. Tolerance. But some people don't do tolerance. Kids are jerks, they can't help it sometimes. And so the bullying that happens here is can match the bullying that happens at any other school. Except it never stops. It never changes. People pick on the same people they have since fifth grade. There are no new victims. There is nothing new. You're stuck where you are, no matter what. Everyone has a place that's set in stone. You just don't step out of line. You can't. It sucks, but it is what it is. It's tradition, in a way. The culture of Avery Middle and High Schools. No escape. Nothing new. Nothing new, that is until Sienna moved in."

A stranger to her own existence, Kayla moves to a small town with the hope of finding comfort in a fresh start. But as she steps inside the unfamiliar classroom on the first day, standing in front of the class is a mysteriously familiar face, one that rouses memories of a time she believed had gone by. With past baggage catching up in the most intrusive ways, she stumbles upon unexpected comfort of friendship, unconditional love of found family, and a beautiful yet complicated bond between two hesitant souls. "This book was like a warm hug, and I might believe in love again." "I would give everything, especially my soul, to have the opportunity to read this book for the first time again." ────── CW: Substance abuse, harsh language, sexual content, mention of self-harm and suicide. ────── Started in January 2018.
