тАЬAnger-management issues.тАЭ
ThatтАЩs how they classified Savannah Sutton after she drove a pencil into her ex-boyfriendтАЩs hand because he mocked her little brother, Evan, for being disabled. ThatтАЩs why they sent her to Brooks AcademyтАФan alternative high school thatтАЩs used as a temporary detention center.
The days at Brooks are miserable, but at home, life is far more bleak. SavvyтАЩs struggling to take care of her brother since her mom left years ago, and her alcoholic dad canтАЩt be bothered. Life with Evan is a constant challenge, but heтАЩs also the most important person in the world to Savvy.
Then thereтАЩs Cameron, a new student at Brooks with issues of his own; a guy from a perfect family that Savvy thought only existed on TV. Cameron seems determined to break through every one of the walls SavvyтАЩs built around herself, except if she lets herself trust him, it could make everything sheтАЩs worked so hard for fall apart in an instant.
And with her aunt seeking custody of her brother and her ex-boyfriend seeking revenge, SavvyтАЩs fighting to hold all the pieces together. But sheтАЩs not sure how much tighter she can be pulled before she breaks completely.
