A National Book Award Finalist offers an intense portrait of an abusive relationship.
Johanna is steadfast, patient, reliable; the go-to girl, the one everyone can count on. But always being there for others canÕt give Johanna everything she needsÑit canÕt give her Reeve Hartt.
Reeve is fierce, beautiful, wounded, elusive; a flame that draws JohannaÕs fluttering moth. Johanna is determined to get her, against all advice, and to help her, against all reason. But love isnÕt always reasonable, right?
In the precarious place where attraction and need collide, a teenager experiences the dark side of a first love, and struggles to find her way into a new light.
