Lee and Millo

“Being the new girl is hard enough without people thinking you’re absolutely insane. Such is life.”

17-year-old Bailey Petrov-Wellings’s life was far from normal. With a father who passed away due to alcohol addiction, and a mother who was addicted to shopping, you could say her life all but conventional. But how her life was is nothing compared to how her life is now. After her mother was murdered in their small apartment one summer night, things were never the same.

Bailey now finds herself in a new place, new environment, living with godparents she forgot she had. She also finds herself in a new school, having to deal with a counselor who won’t quit bugging her, severe dissociative episodes, a crush on a teacher, unbearable guilt, and a secret she could never tell anyone. Bailey soon meets Camillo, a sensitive (and quite handsome) senior, who helps her find herself again. Camillo lets Bailey know that she isn’t alone—and she isn’t the only one with secrets.
