Seventeen-year-old Edalyn Clawthorne would rather be skating down a half-pipe or jamming on her guitar than writing in a journal-but after Raine moved away, it's the only way she knows how to stay sane.

Eda's life is a whirlwind of scraped knees, loud music, and paint-streaked fingers. With her grunge style, messy orange hair, and permanent black nail polish, she doesn't exactly blend in-but she's never cared much about that. Her older sister Lilith is her built-in brainy best friend, and Darius-dramatic, stylish, loyal Darius-has been with her through every high and low.

But nothing stung more than the day Raine Whispers, her quiet, book-loving, tea-sipping best friend of five years, had to move away. Raine, who could play any instrument but couldn't perform in front of more than three people without shaking. Raine, who balanced Eda's chaos like no one else ever could.

Through journal entries filled with raw honesty, late-night doodles, confessions, rage, and memories that hit like guitar feedback, Eda tries to make sense of growing up, growing apart, and the feelings she's never really been able to name.

Because sometimes, the silence someone leaves behind is louder than the noise you fill it with.
