It's 2007
Bartley "Bart" Thames wants seven things before Midnight 2008 rings in.
1. Pass the SAT, that he has failed five times. (Good luck, he's taken it five times)
2. Get a date with his dream girl, Leanna Banks (who makes very unsavory comments about him and his best friend, Noah Redwood.)
3. Get into UCLA for their film program.( his father thinks it's a waste of time.)
4. He wants a girl to kiss him. (Careful what you wish for)
5. Not live in his dad's shadow. (Hard to escape when you're short and fat.)
6. His sister Bailey to stop playing with magic (She's already popular, like she needs the help)
7. For His mom to be honest
A few days before Christmas he finds his Mom's blood on the kitchen floor. It should be an easy shut and close case.
Somehow, everyone is looking at him.
His senior year was supposed to be fun, right? Not a nightmare of murderous torture, witchcraft, and the most confusing crush on a girl who doesn't look at him with guilty eyes.
Now he's having weird dreams he can control, too bad he can't wake his mom.
The year can only get better, right?
Trigger Warning- It's been a journey. This is for anyone who may need a trigger warning. (They are listed below)
Fair warning. I set this book in 2008 and life was not nice to those who were different, in weight, sexuality, and sometimes class. Some characters are not nice and deal or use foul language, slurs, attempted suicide, murder, revenge of inappropriate images posted on the internet, abusive parents, divorced parents, underage smoking, underage drinking, dead or dying grandparents
Foul language. (including terms I don't agree with. The story takes place in 2007 and I don't agree with certain homophobic words I heard all the time screamed at friends all the time.)
In 2007 Life was cruel to anyone who was different. I'm glad life has evolved since then.
