An intense friendship fractures in this gritty, realistic novel from the author of Beautiful, Clean, and Crazy, which School Library Journal called âcompelling and moving.â
Max would follow Sadie anywhere, so when Sadie decides to ditch her problems and escape to Nebraska for the summer, itâs only natural for Max to go along. Max is Sadieâs confidante, her protector, and her best friend. This summer will be all about them. This summer will be perfect.
And then they meet Dylan. Dylan is dark, dangerous, and intoxicating, and he awakens something in Max that she never knew existed. No matter how much she wants to, she canât back away from him.
But Sadie has her own intensity, and has never allowed Max to become close with anyone else. Max doesnât know who she is without Sadie, but sheâd better start learning. Because if she doesnât make a decisionâabout Dylan, about Sadie, about herselfâitâs going to be made for her. Because there are some problems you just canât escape.
