Kalah knows better than to fall for Beth Taylor . . . but that doesn't stop her from falling hard and falling fast, into a sea of complications. Then Beth skips town on her eighteenth birthday, leaving behind many rumors and a string of broken hearts. Not even Beth's best friend, Britney, knows where she went. One of the rumors links Beth to Britney's boyfriend, and Kalah doesn't want to believe the rumor. But Brit clearly believes it---and before Kalah can sort out the truth, Britney is dead. When Beth finally reaches out to Kalah in the wake of Brit's suicide, Kalah wants to trust what Beth tells her. But she's swiftly realizing that nothing here is as it seems.
