Summary
I shift, not really wanting the day to end, “Want to come up?” I try. “I’ll find a horror movie that will actually make you jump.”
Maddy laughs. “You don’t need to put on scary movies to get me close to you, Rue—”
I’m lost for words. My face heats up, “That’s not—
“—I’m a cuddler as you can tell.” She finishes.
Oh. I think. So, she knows we were basically tangled into each other this morning. I chew on my bottom lip, my mind about to go into over drive.
“You’re doing that thing.” She tells me.
“Yeah sorry.” I give an awkward laugh. “You cuddle with all your friends, I’m guessing…”
Maddy phones begin to blow up, and she looks at it and roll her eyes while saying, “No. I don’t like sharing beds during sleepovers.” My eyes widen. “I have to go, unfortunately.” She leans over and gives me a hug, “Good night, Rue.”
I pull the pillow Maddy was using and fall into a dream that includes hues of purple and whispers of ocean wave promises.

Summary
When Rue returns to East Highland, she’s determined to rebuild her life—starting with basketball, where she quickly earns a place on the boys’ team and a reputation no one can ignore. But everything shifts when she crosses paths with Maddy Perez—the untouchable queen bee with a perfect image and a dangerously imperfect relationship. As tension turns into something neither of them wants to admit, Maddy’s controlling boyfriend Nate begins to see Rue as a threat—and he doesn’t handle threats quietly. Caught between growing feelings, violent jealousy, and her own descent into the dangerous world of Fez’s drug trade, Rue finds herself fighting battles on every front. Because in a town like East Highland, love isn’t just complicated—it’s something you have to survive.
