From #1 New York Times bestselling author E.K. Johnston comes a
brave and unforgettable story that will inspire readers to rethink
how we treat survivors. Hermione Winters is captain of her
cheerleading team, and in tiny Palermo Heights, this doesn't mean
what you think it means. At PHHS, the cheerleaders don't cheer for
the sports teams; they are the sports team-the pride and joy of a
small town. The team's summer training camp is Hermione's last and
marks the beginning of the end of...she's not sure what. She does
know this season could make her a legend. But during a camp party,
someone slips something in her drink. And it all goes black. In
every class, there's a star cheerleader and a pariah pregnant girl.
They're never supposed to be the same person. Hermione struggles to
regain the control she's always had and faces a wrenching decision
about how to move on. The rape wasn't the beginning of Hermione
Winter's story and she's not going to let it be the end. She won't
be anyone's cautionary tale. "This story of a cheerleader rising up
after a traumatic event will give you Veronica Mars-level feels
that will stay with you long after you finish."-Seventeen Magazine

dangerous truths from the author of The Accident Season.

letters that mysteriously appear in each new place. What Deena finds
