Brighton
and Leah have been the best of friends since seventh grade. Where Brighton is
the quiet one who is focused on school, Leah is the bold and daring one who
craves the adoration of an audience. It’s always worked for them, until now.
Heading
into their senior year, Brighton is challenged with an opportunity that can
change the course of her future. The only problem? She just might have to step
out of her best friend’s shadow.
But
when Leah doesn’t support the choices she makes, Brighton is forced to
reevaluate what true friendship is.
Brighton
is changing and exciting doors are opening. A new world of music, friends, and
even love are falling at her feet. But it’s hard to enjoy it when Leah’s life
is spiraling out of control.
Now
Brighton must try to not only save her friendship, but also her friend, before
it’s too late.

I don’t know how
long we stood there in silence, but I was grateful that the screaming in my
head quieted. He ran a soothing hand down my back and I held onto him tighter
than I remembered holding anyone else. When he finally released me from his
arms, I was gripping the hem of his shirt so tightly my knuckles were turning
white. I felt frozen in place, staring at the pattern of his plaid flannel
shirt.
When did Matt start
wearing flannel?
It’s still too warm
for flannel.
I rubbed the fabric
between my finger and thumb as I studied it.
I don’t think this
is flannel.
Why can’t I think
about anything else but this flannel?
“Brighton,” he said
softly, like he was talking to a wounded animal.
“Hm?” I answered,
still touching the material.
He dipped down,
forcing me to release my hold of his shirt, and my eyes finally met his.
Please kiss me.
