<div>A powerful coming-of-age story about a girl whose encounters with loss, broken friendships, and newfound faith leave her forever changed, from Printz Honor winner and Morris Award Finalist Jessie Ann Foley When Wendy Boychuck&#8217;s father, a Chicago cop, was escorted from their property in handcuffs, she knew her life would never be the same. Her father gets a years-long jail sentence, her family falls on hard times, and the whispers around their neighborhood are impossible to ignore. If that wasn&#8217;t bad enough, she gets jumped walking home from a party one night. Wendy quickly realizes that in order to survive her father&#8217;s reputation, she&#8217;ll have to make one for herself. Then Wendy meets Kenzie Quintana&#8212;a foul-mouthed, Catholic uniform-skirt-hiking alpha&#8212;and she knows immediately that she&#8217;s found her savior. Kenzie can provide Wendy with the kind of armor a girl needs when she&#8217;s trying to outrun her father&#8217;s past. Add two more mean girls to the mix&#8212;Sapphire and Emily&#8212;and Wendy has found herself in Academy of the Sacred Heart&#8217;s most feared and revered clique. Makeover complete. But complete is far from what Wendy feels. Instead, she faces the highs and lows of a toxic friendship, the exhaustion that comes with keeping up appearances, and a shattering loss&#8212;the only one that could hurt more than losing herself.</div>
