Percy has never had the luxury of an easy life. Fresh from her second stint at rehab, 17-year-old Persephone Anders is determined to make life back in Autumn Falls work. Unfortunately for her, a steady job, dance practice, and schoolwork aren't exactly the fast lane she is used to. With threats to slip back into her life of partying, drugs, and no real purpose, Percy ends up meeting someone she never thought she would see again; except this time, he is there to stay, and to make her life as thrilling and difficult as possible. Kai has never had the luxury of a happy life. Still reeling from the loss of his father and the sudden relocation to his semi-absentee mother's home of Autumn Falls, Malachi Bruinsa has no real reason to care about his future. He spends his days making busywork and stupid fun drown the sorrow that threatens to overtake him. Until he meets Percy, a girl he never imagined seeing again. Summer nights filled with harmless fun bloomed something in Kai that he hasn't felt in years, but also endangered his ultimate escape to a world without his lousy, broken family. Through late-night adventures and early-morning whirlwinds, Kai and Percy meet entirely new versions of themselves and raise hell while doing it. But everything threatens to crumble under the harsh realities of life: young love doesn't cover up scars and it certainly doesn't keep new ones from being made. Especially when mistakes resurface, challenges arise, and death blooms in the air.
