-------------------------------------
After a nightmare before school begins taking over her life, El Clark has decided to write off making friends and most definitely finding a boyfriend at her new school. But a very persistent boy, Decker Sung-Galloway, makes it impossible for her to keep to herself. Only, she's afraid that if she trusts him and his popular friends they'll discover her darkest secret: she's slowly going insane. Or so she thinks. Who do you trust when your nightmares feel too real: the voices in your head or the people who are meant to be your family?
