Preface: Sixteen year old Nicole Miller has always had it all.
She got good grades, never got in any fights, and always had a
smile on her face. But when her older brother Kale, also her best
friend, is found in his room dead, her whole life comes crashing
down on her. Her ex, Michael, is back in town looking for
trouble, her mother is holding on by a thread, and her other
older brother, Jake, has disappeared out of her life. Suddenly,
Nicole is forced to stay strong and hold back her true feelings
from the world. But when she has an unexpected run-in with her
brother’s old friend Cris, a mysterious boy with a few
secrets of his own, Nicole starts to realize some secrets
can’t stay hidden forever and what was truly behind her
brother’s suicide.
