Sarah's life is a delicate balancing act juggling the pressures of senior year, cheer captain responsibilities, and keeping her unstable home life a secret. Living with her unmedicated schizophrenic mother, Sarah has become more caretaker than teenager, all while doing everything she can to avoid the foster care system that once tore her apart.
She's almost free just one more year until she turns eighteen. But surviving high school isn't easy when your arch nemesis is also your former best friend. Brody, the golden boy and football captain, was once the boy who shared her first kiss after the 8th grade dance. A summer apart shattered what could've been, and now he seems to take pleasure in turning her into a punchline.
But behind Brody's biting sarcasm and cruel smirks is something far more complicated an unresolved connection he's never quite let go of. As their senior year unfolds, old feelings resurface, secrets unravel, and Sarah must decide whether Brody is still her enemy... or something much deeper.
