Adriana Perry, a sixteen-year-old student, copes with the grief of suddenly losing her best friend by falling in deeper with two equally troubled boys.

--

Sixteen-year-old Adriana Perry is, by all accounts, a normal girl - she has straight As, an average social life, and a supportive, middle-class family. After her best friend tragically passes away the summer before her junior year, though, it all fades into grey faster than she can breathe.

But what happens when yet another whirlwind enters her life - this time, the unending persistence of her longtime rival, James Lancaster, and his remarkably sweet best friend, Eli Spring? Their support (or in James's case, their annoying distraction) slowly helps her get back on her feet, even if it's as a person she never imagined she could be. Not everything is as it seems, though: both boys are hiding a dark secret of their own, and the closer Ana gets to each of them, the more she's afraid she's run into something deeper than she can handle.

At a time like this, Ana needs a life raft more than anything. She just never considered that her life rafts might be drowning too.
