{Sequel to Project Smile} Gabriel Lancaster has had his fair share of ups and downs, especially throughout the last four years of his life. He's improved since his junior year of high school, but he still feels as if he's stuck in between the dark depths of his depression and approaching recovery. Cassidy Evans completed Project Smile four years ago, but she knows she still has work to do. Though she knows that her boyfriend is doing a lot better, she can't help but worry for him, which takes a toll on both her schoolwork and her mental health. As they walk together through the peaks and valleys of life, they know that they must persevere and never leave the other behind. But as tension keeps building and time continues changing both of them, will they be able to make it through? Or will this finally be what tears them apart? {Trigger Warning: This book deals with heavy topics, such as depression and anxiety, as well as mentions of a suicide.

Caleb

Caleb is definitely a troubled child. Alone, with nothing going for him, he attempts to take his own life but fails at his first attempt. He desperately wants to try again but is put under constant supervision, especially by his new doctor, Dr Palmer. Dr Palmer becomes more and more involved in Caleb’s life, trying to help him see that his life is worth living through various methods. Eventually, the two build up a trusting and understanding relationship and Dr Palmer allows Caleb to do things that his parents would have never have let him do so soon after something so tragic. Caleb gets his life back on track, enrolling at college and even meeting a girl whom he used to know as a child. The two of them begin to date each other, and everything seems great for a while. That is, until Caleb remembers the reason that he tried to commit suicide in the first place, revealing a secret that shatters his new found confidence. As things at home begin to deteriorate too, Caleb’s situation goes from bad to worse. The only person who knows the truth, Dr Palmer, leaves him to stand on his own two feet, declaring him cured. He starts back at college full time, and becomes ever closer with Stephanie, the only person whom he feels that he can trust. When his own father attacks his mother, Caleb begins to think that the police are on to him, trying to unravel his past, thinking that they have realised what happened to cause him to try to commit suicide. However, they are just trying to build a case against his father. In desperation, Caleb tried to reach out to Dr Palmer, against the advice of his mother. As his life spirals out of control, Dr Palmer makes him realise that the only way he can carry on is to come clean and reveal his secret. In a shocking final twist, everything is revealed to be not what it seems, and Caleb finds out that he will be ok, no matter what happens to him.
