Elisabeth Elise Walker knows exactly what it costs to be perfect. In Figure Eight, her life is mapped out down to the millimeter by her parents, Will and Diana. High grades, country club smiles, and a flawless family legacy. Even her sister, Alexandra, has lined up the perfect Kook-approved alliance with Rafe Cameron. To the rest of the island, the Walkers are untouchable. But behind closed doors, the walls of the mansion feel more like a gilded cage, suffocating her a little more every single day. Then there's JJ Maybank. He's chaotic, defensive, and carries his own bruises from a hell on the Cut that Elisabeth could never understand. He's everything she's supposed to run away from. But when a late-night escape pushes them into the same orbit, the armor they both wear begins to crack. Underneath his sharp sarcasm and her polished Kook exterior, they're just two broken kids trying to find a safe place to breathe. As a dangerous treasure hunt tears the island apart and Alexandra gets dragged into Rafe's dark, unraveling world, Elisabeth is caught right in the middle of a literal war. She's spent her whole life staying on her side of the track lines. But when the gold, the lies, and the violence collide, she has to make a choice.
