18 year old, Anari Smith, lives in a not so safe area of Detroit. She lives with her mother, Diamond, her father, Antonio, and her little sister, Alexis. Anari's parents are always gone. Antonio is a pilot and Diamond is a Flight Attendant. Anari basically takes care of her little sister. Lately, her parents have been gone on more trips and haven't been leaving money for them. Anari is really struggling with the little money she has left. All of her parents family live in Atlanta, so she has no other people to ask for help. She honestly doesn't even want help. She wants to be independent, but her bestfriend won't allow that. There is one more month before Anari has to start her senior year in high school. She has to get a job so she can buy everything Alexis needs to start school, pay bills, keep food in the house, and save up to buy a car.
What happens when one person comes in her life and changes it for the better?
On the journey to finding yourself, expect to get lost along the way.
Bridget Montez is boring. But it's not her fault.
She imagines she could be a witty, exciting, and badass seventeen-year-old. But for now, she splits her time between school, chores, and nursing her mother back to health after her most recent drug binge.
For Bri, college is where she'll leave the cold walls of her Brooklyn home behind and blossom. She's desperate for change and when Jax, an arresting and mysterious college sophomore, rolls into her life she gets a taste of what freedom - and love - could be.
But when her demanding father threatens her plans for escape, she may be willing to follow Jax into a seedy world that challenges everything she thought she knew in order to get the life she wants. With her future and freedom on the line, Bridget hopes she knows the limits of love, loyalty, and legality.
