Chapter 1

Emma Cooper is perfect; she has the quintessential boyfriend, sits at the popular table, and has a packed social calendar. Oh, and she hates every minute of it. She eagerly awaits graduation and the opportunity to burst from her suburban tedium until Danny Stevens inserts himself into her life. Danny defines himself by disaffection and drug use. He is not looking forward to much and aspires to even less. But Emma Cooper is not like the other girls he's met. Before long, they are in way over their heads as they both try to navigate the consequences of love, friends, and themselves.
