Saylor Stanley cannot name the source of her anger, only that she belongs neither with her elite classmates nor in a home where her mother and stepfather fail to understand her.
Another run-in with the law is enough for her mother to exile her to Meadow Grove, Georgia, and the father she has never known.
Furious and bent on making trouble, she meets a town with different plans, a dad who still wants a connection, and Dreux St. Julien, the golden boy everyone worships.
He is quiet, calm, and optimistic—so far from her type that every clash between them throws off more than heat.
Shared music and hard-won histories pull them together, but Saylor remains on a collision course with herself.
Whether she drowns in that rage or builds a life in this unlikely place is still an open question.
