When sixteen-year-old Willa is sent away from her small town in Iowa to a boarding school on the East Coast, she doesn't plan to like it or attempt to fit in. Instead, she plans to commit suicide. But when she meets Remy Taft, a girl who seems to have it all but lacks true friends, the two become inseparable, and Will forgets all about killing herself. As Remy begins to spiral out of control, Willa hopes she's strong enough to save her best friend from her own destruction.
