Evelyn is okay. She's at the top of her class, a Wattpad writer, and a rising star on YouTube. 
    
    She's also a liar. Her parents fight all the time, but she tells her friends everything is fine. She lies to herself about the guy at school.  On the night her life changed forever, she told herself what was probably her biggest lie ever: I'm okay.
    
    The truth is, she's not. Things are falling apart and beginning to come out. She's barely keeping it together. Can she make it through when her lies begin to catch up to her?
