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.
