Avery Turner is meant for perfection. Perfection in this case, is very academic and not social or emotional. No one has to know that though. For everyone at school, she was the stone-cold teacher's pet who is not made for social circles. For her mother, she was a worthless girl who doesn't deserve the grades that she gets. She has created the perfect double life - charming, but deadly academic tour de force at school; a timid, apologetic girl at home. Lacking control over herself, and her life right now, her ticket to freedom is to maintain her perfect image, and get to Princeton. Kyran Drake is an enigma. He was the polar opposite of Avery; he was the stereotypical popular kid. He was the star football player, intelligent and witty - he was the guy the everyone wanted to be and the guy every girl wanted to be with. Dark and mysterious, yet loved by so many for his charisma, his life isn't picture perfect either. He hides it better than most people - including Avery. So, what happens when one day, Avery's only chance to freedom happens to be in Kyran's hands and Kyran's future is in Avery's control? Tragedy, right? But, the real question is, Can they keep their differences apart to keep their dreams alive? Or will their lies bury them or change them forever? *Trigger warnings: Language, child abuse themes, emotional abuse, references to violence.* ᴄᴏᴘʏʀɪɢʜᴛ © 2023 ʙʏ ᴀᴜᴅʀᴇʏ ᴀʟʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛꜱ ʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ. ᴛʜɪꜱ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ᴏʀ ᴀɴʏ ᴘᴏʀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇᴏꜰ ᴍᴀʏ ɴᴏᴛ ʙᴇ ʀᴇᴘʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴇᴅ ᴏʀ ᴜꜱᴇᴅ ɪɴ ᴀɴʏ ᴍᴀɴɴᴇʀ ᴡʜᴀᴛꜱᴏᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇxᴘʀᴇꜱꜱ ᴡʀɪᴛᴛᴇɴ ᴘᴇʀᴍɪꜱꜱɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇʀ ᴇxᴄᴇᴘᴛ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜꜱᴇ ᴏꜰ ʙʀɪᴇꜰ Qᴜᴏᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ ɪɴ ᴀ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡ.
