Description
From the author of the Roswell High series, a teen with telepathic powers discovers the friend who has her back is also the boy she trusts with her heart.
When her world was crumbling to pieces, he helped her put it back together. Now he's about to show her just how much she means to him.
Ever since Rae became her high school's freak show-the girl whose very public meltdown sent her straight to a mental hospital-she's felt alone among the sea of people who used to be her friends at Sanderson Prep. Which is why Rae is thrilled when her friend Anthony gets a scholarship to the private school. Sharing the hallways with the boy who stood by her as she struggled to understand her telepathic abilities feels like a dream come true. Except, Anthony gets caught up in his newfound popularity and suddenly he has more important things to do than watch out for her. So when Rae starts to show signs of the same mysterious affliction that destroyed her mother's life, she feels she has to face it alone. Until Anthony shows up for her in a way she never imagined. Suddenly things between them are about to get real on a whole new level . . .
