YA
Peyton's dream of playing college soccer is jeopardized when her 'roid-head boyfriend Reed, a mixed-martial-arts fighter, shoves her down the stairs then denies it. With her knee wrecked and Reed stalking her, Peyton leaves DC for small-town Tennessee, where a new relationship awaits--and where mean-girl cheerleaders are annoyingly clichéd. Still, the suspenseful romance targets serious subjects: domestic violence, steroid use, grief.
