What to expect
A timely, smart, and utterly compelling story of how to piece yourself together when your world is falling apart.
When gorgeous new student Carter struts into Year 10, Harley knows it’s time to reinvent herself. Before long, she’s shedding not only weight but her friends, her family, and the person she used to be.
Spiraling deeper into a world where nothing is as it seems, Harley is desperate to find her way back. But first, she must figure out why her dead grandmother is messaging her. Why her father is never home. Why the voice keeps making her do things she doesn’t want to do. Why everyone she loves is out of reach. Why everything she wishes for is vanishing before her eyes—or is she the one disappearing?
