What happens when you're attracted to someone struggling just as hard as you are?
A messy breakup can leave you in a dark place, and the way Isabel Carter learns to deal with her fragile state is by moving to Elm Scott Senior High. Luckily, her new friends are fantastic, and will do anything to help her on her road to recovery.
Elijah Ryan is intimidating and standoffish as hell. He has a reputation for being in a permanently bad mood, and also a reputation for being a bit of a jerk. It's clear to everyone that he is battling his inner demons, and because of this, Isabel believes he is the only one that truly understands.
Chase Dawson is not happy with Isabel's newfound interest in his arch nemesis' little brother. He firmly believes that putting two unhappy people together will only result in a toxic relationship. You can't help someone heal when you're suffering from your own wounds.
Does Chase simply want Isabel to be happy, or is he, perhaps, overreacting due to his own unrequited feelings?
