Summary: Twins Jake and Lily have always felt inseparable, like two halves of one whole. But turning eleven changes everything. Their parents decide on separate bedrooms, and Jake starts hanging out with a neighborhood gang, leaving Lily feeling lost and angry. As Jake falls under the influence of a bully, both siblings must confront their identities. Who is Lily without Jake? And who is the real Jake? This summer of change tests their bond, leading them to discover true friendship, resilience, and the essence of who they are. Will they find their way back to each other?
