Isabelle Carson didn't account for a hot, new guy who almost runs her over, a messed up class schedule, and a boyfriend who dumps her for one of her best friends. All of that pales to the threat of her dirty family secrets breaking free from the perfect façade she’s diligently maintained. 
Grayson Alexander is on his fourth school in as many years. Lakewood Valley High is exactly like all the others, with one shiny exception: Isabelle Carson. She’s smart, funny, and beautiful. But Isabelle is hiding something, and Grayson is determined to win her trust.
As Isabelle’s life spirals out of control and her picture-perfect image begins to shatter, Grayson does what no one else can: he makes her laugh and allows her to be imperfect. But Grayson has been damaged by his own family secrets, and Isabelle will have to decide if the boy she’s falling for more and more each day is a right or a wrong.

He looks up and then stands. "Hey. How's your mom?"


"What're you still doing here?" I don't mean to sound so ungrateful, buthe waited for me. Why would he do that when earlier he said he didn't know if he could forgive me? 


"I was worried about you." He shoves his hands into his pockets and looks away as if he's embarrassed. 


My heart melts at his admission, and the floodgates that are my tear ducts burst open. Again. 


"Belle." He wraps me in his arms, and I cry on his shoulder. He strokes my hair and rubs my back. "It's okay," he whispers. "Everything's going to be okay." 


I wish I believed him. But until Mom is clean and sober and Dad comes home and Grayson forgives me, nothing will be okay.


"Thanks for sticking around," I say as I reluctantly release him. There's nothing that feels as safe and perfect as being in Grayson's arms. 


"Okay. She's got a long recovery, but she seems eager to get better."
