Description

Seventeen-year-old Julius Monroe hates his life. He hides the truth of his father's abuse with careful lies and a kick-ass jacket that keeps everyone at bay. But Julius' careful facade crumbles after a run-in with the school administration puts him on a collision course with his best friend's sister and her jealous boyfriend.

But escaping the school bully and his father's abuse isn't his only worry. The worst monster is Lela, whose manipulations threaten to expose every secret that Julius is so desperate to hide.

When his worlds collide, Julius must make a choice. Live with the monsters he knows, or take a chance on being free.
