CUTTING TO THE CHASE

How do you fix something you didn't break?

Lizzy certainly doesn't have the answer. All she knows is that she needs to survive senior year, then get as far away from her dysfunctional family as possible. In the meantime, when she can't take the pressure, she eases it with the sharp edge of a razor blade.

But she's been cutting deeper and her thoughts are growing darker.

Until she meets Michael. With him she finds relief.

Now, maybe—just maybe—she can make it.

COLOR ME GRAY

Saying goodbye to friends is hard. Being the only one left behind? Unbearable.

Mags is sure she will suffocate on loneliness when her friends head off to college. They get new adventures while she gets to live in the same house, on the same street, in the same city she’s been forever. When the hottest guy at a party hits on her, she’s convinced her world has shifted, that between fashion school and the start of a relationship, she too will have a chance at a new life.

She’s right.

Everything changes that night.

Just not in the way she dreamed.

SLOWLY FALLING

Chloe uses work to hide from the world, but she can’t escape her thoughts. Since the death of her track-star boyfriend, her panic attacks are sneaking up on her. A lot. And while others may think her odd behavior is because of his loss, the truth is she’s always been just this side of “crazy.” Until now, her compulsive daily rituals kept them at bay. At least in public.

When Derrick walks into her life, she’s distracted enough to back away from the edge of her mental precipice. Convinced he’s her safe haven, she falls blindly into a relationship. With him, she dreams of being like every other seventeen-year-old. It seems so easy, but it's not.

How do you face the future when the past won't let you go?
