YA
Vulnerable and withdrawn seventeen-year-old Amelia Gannon meets intense and possessive foster kid Michael Brooks, who draws Amelia out of her depression and into a destructive, obsessive relationship. Desir writes about subjects such as addiction, self-harm, and suicide with reckless abandon, forcing readers to experience the raw emotion alongside her characters. Gritty and bleak; for mature audiences only.
