YA
Amateur photographer Day discovers a fellow teen living in her family's barn: he's an escapee from juvenile detention, where he was held in suspicion of his parents' murder. Hoping to help exonerate him, Day convinces Julian to share his story. The romance between Day and Julian feels weak and unnecessary, but the slow unraveling of his family's abusive history will keep readers flipping pages.
