Kelly Braffet’s characters, indelibly portrayed and richly varied, are all on their own twisted path to finding peace. The result is a novel of unnerving power ? darkly compelling, addictively written, and shockingly honest.
Patrick Cusimano is in a bad way. His father is in jail; he works the midnight shift at a grubby convenience store; and his brother’s girlfriend, Caro, has taken their friendship to an uncomfortable new level. On top of all that, he can’t quite shake the attentions of Layla Elshere, a goth teenager who befriends Patrick for reasons he doesn’t understand, and doesn’t fully trust. The temptations these two women offer are pushing Patrick to his breaking point.
Meanwhile, Layla’s little sister, Verna, is suffering through her first year of high school. She’s become a prime target for her cruel classmates, not just because of her strange name and her fundamentalist parents: Layla’s bad-girl rep proves to be too a huge shadow for Verna, so she falls in with her sister’s circle of outcasts and misfits, whose world is far darker than she ever imagined.
Braffet’s captivating, realistically creepy third novel ... uses graceful prose, astute dialogue, and vivid characters to carry the plot to an unexpected and believable finale.' (Starred Review)
