Avalon Rose James has been shuffled from home to home, learning to smile, nod, and survive. With every foster placement comes another set of rules, another chance to pretend she's fine. Behind the mask, though, she's drowning in nicotine-stained lungs, scars of trust issues, and the creeping belief that nothing in life really matters.
When Gerard Way and his family step into her life, Ava isn't sure if she's walking into safety or another stopover before the inevitable disappointment. Between Elijah-the only friend who understands her chaos -and a new family who might actually want her, Ava has to decide whether she can let her walls down... or whether survival mode is all she'll ever know.
A slightly satirical, introspective and heart-throbbing story about found family, trust, and the terrifying possibility of finally belonging.
