Althea's past is a labyrinth of pain, a mystery she guards by hiding behind "normal". Will, burdened by the harsh realities of his present, also hides scars of his own. Their paths cross, and they find relief in each other's brokenness, drawn together by an unspoken understanding of the shadows that haunt them. At just seventeen and eighteen, they've suffered more pain than anyone should experience in a lifetime. The line between ally and enemy blurs when friendships break and secrets surface. The real monsters no longer lurk under the bed; they walk among them, exploiting their fears and deepest insecurities. Will wants to take the fear away, but Althea is a mystery only she can unravel. Please note that this book contains strong and vivid language regarding violence, sexual assault, severe bullying, family illness, bereavement, severe mental illness, suicidal thoughts and emotional manipulation which may be harmful or traumatizing to some audiences.
