Three years ago Del was a straight-A student athlete; all that changed when sexting turned him into a felon. Now seventeen, his interest in a new girl is complicated by his parole officer's pressure and his job as a gravedigger. Del's not always likable, and the story presents his actions realistically, allowing readers to decide whether his punishment fit the crime.
