Bookroo's summary
At Percy Academy, Ellie and Miah find solace in each other's arms, defying societal expectations. As they navigate the complexities of race and family, their love faces an unimaginable test. When a tragic event shatters their world, Ellie must confront the harsh realities of loss and prejudice. Can love endure when the world seems determined to tear it apart?
From the publisher
Both Elisha (Ellie) and Jeremiah (Miah) attend Percy Academy, a private school where neither quite fits in. Ellie is wrestling with family demons, and Miah is one of the few African American students. The two of them find each other, and fall in love – but they are hesitant to share their newfound happiness with their friends and families, who will not understand. At the end, life makes the brutal choice for them: Jeremiah is shot and killed, and Ellie now has to cope with the consequences..
