"I can’t leave. I can’t live. I have no way out of this life—a life my mother gave to me, only for her to make living it the hardest bit of all." For seventeen-year-old Skylar Cheung, her mother is an ever-present force. And not one for good. Caught in a loop of creating new scars to deal with old wounds, everything changes when Skylar meets Alexis. It’s the perfect girl-saves-girl story, except it isn’t. Through the years, Alexis continues to haunt Skylar, a silent echo in every relationship. As Skylar searches for ways to move on and move out of her darkness, she discovers that learning to love others may be easy, but holding on to a love that can save you is not.
