It's easy to hide the storm clouds inside with a bright smile on the outside. ... Noah and Alex have been best friends for over five years. While Noah had no other friends, Alex didn't want any other friends; he didn't even want his sister around. So when Noah betrayed him and ruined his social life he is left broken and angry. He didn't even get an explanation. For Noah, it was something that had to be done. For Alex, it was the wake-up call he needed in order to realise the only person he can truly rely on is himself. Whether he keeps his solo act or makes friends with the new students is completely up for debate. One thing for sure, however, he keeps finding himself laughing with the guy that works in the cafe downtown. ... NOTE: This book possesses a lot of teen issues such as depression, anxiety, rape and other mental health disorders.
