About the Book
Hope leaves her small town for a fresh start, but her plans are derailed by an online romance and the appearance of her brother.
Hope lives in a small town with nothing to do and nowhere to go. With a drug addict for a brother, she focuses on the only thing that keeps her sane, writing poetry. To escape, she jumps at the chance to attend Ravenhurst Academy as a boarding student. She’ll even put up with the clique-ish Ravens if it means making a fresh start.
At first, Ravenhurst is better than Hope could have dreamed. She has a boyfriend and a cool roommate, and she might finally have found a place she can fit in. But can she trust her online boyfriend? And what can she do after her brother shows up at the school gates, desperate for help, and the Ravens turn on her? Trapped and unsure, Hope realizes that if she wants to save her brother, she has to save herself first.

This sounds like a unique and worthwhile read. –Kara S
The bird looks cool!
I love the cover. It sounds suspenseful and very good. I’m always wary of the “online” romances!
Looks like an amazing read!
The cover is so pretty, the simplicity is great! the synopsis sounds good and I can’t wait to read it!
I love how there’s a bird on the cover of it! And the synopsis sounds great.
I haven’t read a book dealing with onloine romances, but this one would be a great start based on the synopsis. I love origami and that’s wht the cover reminds me of, so maybe the complicated paper foldings is supposed to represent the complexities and fragility of this character’s life.
