In 2006, in the quiet town of Mapleton, sixteen-year-old Gabriella Jackson has mastered the art of disappearing. Shy, distant, and wrapped in rumors, she keeps her pain buried behind silence and sharp edges-no one knows the truth about her life, not even Sam Bennett. Sam, her best friend since childhood, is everything she's not: golden, adored, and safe. To the world, he's a star athlete. To Gabriella, he's the only place that's ever felt like home. But even he doesn't see the full picture. He doesn't know about the bruises hidden under her clothes. He doesn't know what her ex-boyfriend did last summer. He doesn't know she's starving herself just to disappear. Gabriella is determined to carry it all alone. But Sam? He's not going anywhere.

When the shy quiet but sarcastic girl meets outgoing and crazy boy. What will happen, will they be friends or will they fall in love. "I hate how I look." "I think you look beautiful, princess." Oh, she knows what I think about And what I think about One love, two mouths One love, one house No shirt, no blouse Just us, you find out Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no 'Cause it's too cold For you here And now, so let me hold Both your hands in the holes of my sweater - Sweater Weather
