‘A compulsive page-turner with a shocking twist–get ready to stay up forever!’ –Sara Shepard, #1 NY Times bestselling writer of Pretty Little Liars

‘This conversation-starting page-turner is…Fatal Appeal meets Big Small Lies.’ –Kirkus Evaluations

Gabe and Elyse haven’t met. However they both possess something to hide.

Quiet, timid Elyse can’t believe it when she’s cast as the lead in her Portland high school’s production of Romeo and Juliet. Her closest friend, Brynn, is normally the about Lays You Never EXPLAINED superstar, and Elyse isn’t sure she’s up to the duty. But when someone at rehearsals begins to capture her eye–someone she knows she absolutely must not be with–she can’t help but end up being pulled into the spotlight.

Austin local Gabe is contemplating the unthinkable–breaking up with Sasha, his headstrong, popular girlfriend. She’s not going to allow him slide through her fingertips, though, and when rumors start to circulate around college, he knows she’s the power to improve his life forever.

Gabe and Elyse both make the mistake of falling for the incorrect person, and falling hard. Told in parallel narratives, this twisty, surprising story displays how one bad choice can lead to a spiral of unexpected consequences that not really everyone will survive.
