All that glitters in Campbelton isn't gold.
Seventeen-year-old Haruna Catherine Mitsukai has done everything right. Perfect grades. Perfect reputation. Perfect future. One last year at Shady Glenn Academy, then she's free-bound for the University of British Columbia and a life far away from this city.
Ryu Debiru doesn't dream of escape. Freedom is a luxury, and survival is the only thing he can afford to want.
When Haruna and Ryu are forced together for a major English project, their worlds collide. She sees him as dangerous and unpredictable. He sees her as everything that's wrong with the system. But as tension turns into something far more complicated, Haruna uncovers secrets that shatter everything she thought she knew about Ryu-and the world she's been so desperate to leave behind.
Because while Haruna's biggest fear is failure,
Ryu's biggest risk is staying alive.
As their lives become dangerously entangled, Haruna must confront the limits of her privilege, and Ryu must decide whether escape is even possible.
Because some stories are written in classrooms. Others are written in scars.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Slow-burn romance
- High school drama with emotional stakes
- Stories exploring prejudice, privilege and class divides
- Character-driven YA suspense
- Flawed characters and complicated relationships
Degrassi meets Tokyo Vice in a contemporary YA setting.
