Clara Reyes has been expelled from more schools than she can count.
Tough, angry, and unwilling to trust anyone, she moves to Los Angeles with only one rule in mind: don't get attached.
But then she meets Billie. Annoying, stubborn, way too kind for her own good-and the first person Clara can't seem to push away.
Feelings scare Clara more than fights ever could. So when her walls start to crack, she does the only thing she knows: hurt before she can be hurt.
Caught between her destructive habits, a broken family, and a girl who refuses to give up on her, Clara has to face the one thing she fears most.
Love.

"Because I don't," I lied again, sharper this time.
She frowned. "You know, you keep saying you don't care about anyone, but everything you do screams the opposite."
