Arosa Mendler's life is perfect and chaotic all at the same time, whether it's keeping up with her family name of perfect grades and prestigious behavior or behind the curtain dealing with her parents. Ever since three years ago her parents have been fighting and even though they're downstairs or in another room she understands what's going on, a lot more than divorce. She has built walls that block out whatever is behind them by reading books that relate to the life she has always wanted to live and it's like she's being suffocated with the piles.
Grayson Bellmick's life is constantly changing and it always feels like he's cornered. Being closed in by the numbers, too many numbers to keep track of. Especially when he moves back from living around the states to his old hometown where he was raised until he left in seventh grade.
When the two collide will they find out they can make their problems be faced head on? Or will they be drowned out by numbers, cliche, and parents.
