With the sound of gunshots, the crowd erupts in crying and screams. Some of them wonder what to do, some worry, all wanting to make it out alive. Evan finds he doesn’t think of himself at all but about Judith. Where could she be? Is she safe?
Before that dreaded day, Evan is a new transfer to Washington High School, where he’s reunited with his best friends from childhood. He’s a typical slacker who would rather sketch and daydream than pay attention in class, waiting for the bell to ring so he can go to the arcade and comic book shop after school…
This bestselling and award winning romantic suspense thriller is about “a love story amidst an act of violence.” Two parallel narratives intertwine and unfold in this coming-of-age story that is a retrospective dive into pop culture, an overview of the high school experience, and a societal and psychological commentary.
