Prologue

Elliot Bridge is new in town: socially awkward, friendless, and an avid reader, he's not sure how to fit in at a "glamorous Californian school." Callida McAbrams is newly blind, and also newly antisocial. Angry at the world for her unlucky fate, Callie quickly turned into a bitter girl who has no care for the world around her. When Elliot and Callie get paired up for a science project, Elliot befriends her old clique, and Callie meets a girl named Ava, things quickly turn around - but for the better, or for worse?
