Sixteen-year-old Summer Willows is used to being invisible. Sheltered, homeschooled, and struggling with her own body image, she keeps to herself-until Alexey Mikhailov, her brother's reckless best friend, starts showing up more often. 

Alexey is everything Summer isn't: popular, bold, and unafraid to fight back. Summer knows she should keep her distance, but Alexey sees through her guarded walls, pulling her into a world of danger, desire, and heartbreak. 

As their worlds collide, Summer discovers that sometimes, the people who seem the most put together are the ones hiding the deepest scars.

The Way We Get By

29 parts Complete Mature

Boys don't have eating disorders. Those are only for vain, teenage girls. Not for Alex. Alex Rivera doesn't know why he started counting calories or why he's addicted to stepping on the scale. He just knows it's what he needs to do. His parents don't understand, and neither does his twin brother - the hotshot player of the school. His little sister doesn't get it. His fucking pet lizard doesn't get it. None of them understand how, a family so happy and so healthy, could've festered this disorder. A disorder that's taken everything from Alex. As the heartbreaking secrets unfold and Alex's disorder is brought under the microscope, the Riveras must find a way to get by, even through the impossibility of Alex's eating disorder, a molestation charge, and the realization that pain isn't always clear-cut and obvious. Told through multiple point of views, The Way We Get By shines a light on the often ignored side of mental health and eating disorders, and it shows that with a little love, humor, and sacrifice, absolutely anything is possible. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - ednos |#1| - disorder |#1| - mentalillness |#2| - eating |#3| - recovery
