Her Thing

Death is a part of life- an unavoidable truth that seventeen-year-old Dylan Madden refuses to accept as she watches her grandfather slip away. Anxious and overwhelmed, she shuts herself off from the world, carrying a weight too heavy to share.

Then there's Aiden Hale-eighteen, effortlessly charming, the golden boy of their school, and a baseball prodigy with the world at his feet. Where Dylan is guarded and self-destructive, Aiden is laid-back and impossible to rattle. They couldn't be more different.

Their worlds collide first in the library, then again at the batting cages-where Dylan, true to form, lets him have it. Anyone else would take the hint. Not Aiden.

But as Dylan's carefully built walls start to crack, as time runs out and life as she knows it begins to slip through her fingers, she's forced to face a new, terrifying possibility: foster care.

And maybe-just maybe-Aiden is the one person who won't let her disappear completely.
