Running away from the past is easy. Escaping its shadows is hard.
Gabriel Blanchett thought changing cities would be enough. Leaving New York behind and hiding out with her father in a forgotten town in South Carolina seemed like the perfect opportunity to start over... until her past began to haunt her in the cruelest way.
In her senior year of high school, the secrets she swore to bury reappear published anonymously in the student newspaper. Suddenly, every glance feels like judgment, every friendship like a threat, and the place she thought was safe becomes a new prison.
Amid rumors, betrayals, and half-truths, Gabriel must learn that friendship and love can be weapons as powerful as hate... and that sometimes, surviving means facing head-on what you fear most.
An intense and addictive novel that combines romance, mystery, and the struggle to heal, perfect for those who enjoy stories with intrigue, real emotions, and breathtaking twists.
