BOOK SUMMARY

Limits. Samantha tests her limits, without realizing that’s what’s happening.

She tastes her first flavors of freedom as she gets to drive, both scary and empowering. On a family vacation to Maui, she meets a boy she compares to her first love, Ryan. The pressure is on as she studies A LOT for tests on tests on tests, bidding for a spot at a top college.

Sammy feels her body respond to the chaos around and within her. What does it mean? Why do her thoughts run through her mind at warp speed? Why does she hear wind chimes clanging in her ears? A panic attack outside the campus library raises more questions than answers.

This year, her junior year of high school, is her most difficult and darkest to navigate. More questions than answers present themselves to Sammy as she tries to figure out her school, her writing, her relationships, and her own mind. Where will she end up?
