In this gripping novel from New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins, the lives of three teenagers become intertwined as they navigate the complexities of love, both good and bad.
Mikayla, just shy of her eighteenth birthday, is head-over-heels in love with Dylan, who reciprocates her feelings. However, their world is turned upside down when Mikayla becomes pregnant the summer before their senior year, and she decides to keep the baby.
Shane, who turns sixteen that same summer, falls deeply in love with his first boyfriend, Alex, who is HIV positive. Grappling with the impending death of his younger sister, Shane must confront the reality that his own life may also be cut short.
Harley, a fourteen-year-old searching for new experiences, particularly the love of an older boy, finds herself hurtling towards self-destructive extremes in an effort to define her identity and her desires.
As the adults in their lives become increasingly preoccupied with their own dilemmas, the teens' worlds begin to tilt, forcing them to navigate the consequences of love in all its forms.
The novel explores the interconnectedness of the teens' lives through the family relationships of their parents, and the ways in which love can have both positive and negative impacts on their futures.
The author, Ellen Hopkins, masterfully weaves together these three distinct narratives, creating a powerful and poignant exploration of the challenges and triumphs of young love. Readers will be captivated by the raw emotions and the high-stakes decisions faced by these three teenagers as they confront the reality of love's consequences.
