Bookroo's summary
Nick Andreas seems to have it all—intelligence, popularity, and wealth. But beneath the surface lies a dark secret: his father's abuse. When Nick falls for Caitlin, he believes he's found solace. Yet, as his own anger and jealousy emerge, Nick must confront the terrifying possibility that he's becoming like his father. Can he break the cycle of violence, or will history repeat itself? This gripping tale explores the struggle between inherited darkness and the hope for change.
From the publisher
Like father, like sonIntelligent, popular, handsome, and wealthy, sixteen-year-old Nick Andreas is pretty much perfect – on the outside, at least. What no one knows – not even his best friend – is the terror that Nick faces every time he is alone with his father. Then he and Caitlin fall in love, and Nick thinks his problems are over. Caitlin is the one person who he can confide in. But when things start to spiral out of control, Nick must face the fact that he’s gotten more from his father than green eyes and money.
