With her mom in and out of doctor's appointments, her dad coming home late every night either drunk or with hickeys on his neck, her boyfriend constantly wanting to push things to the next level, her life isn't as perfect as it seems.
When a party gets a little bit out of hand, Harley is met face to face with Kover Ryan. The same girl who has hated her guts since middle school. The same girl Harley and her friends have tormented since middle school.
Thrust into a new world, Harley meets a group of friends who call themselves "The Rats" and her life begins to change.
High School can be the best of times and the worst of times. Friend groups fall apart, people find out the truth about themselves, and hearts get broken. But Harley has it all together...right?
