What happens when you don’t know who to trust?
What happens when you’re isolated with no one to turn to?
You’re told you have a mental health disorder. You’re told that what you know is real with every fiber of your being doesn’t exist. That the very person you love was a figment of your imagination. Your broken mind made it all up.
But I remember. He was ripped away from me. His name is inked all over my scarred skin. Theo.
I’m forced to attend Thornridge Academy, which is not only a college but also an innovative treatment facility for mental health and disruptive behavior. So why am I getting worse?
Theo, the love of my life, is here now and has forgotten me.
He’s my father’s adopted son.
He’s my adopted brother.
He’s my enemy.
Theo will soon learn that we exist in this world only for each other. He’ll remember, too. I’ll make sure of it.
