Synopsis
Sixteen-year-old
Max Prescott knows all too well the joys of cheating girlfriends and traitorous
friends. He’s not eager to have his heart trampled again, but money and a fresh
start can mean the difference between happiness and a dark path with his name
on it.
So
when Melly Hewson, a perky and enigmatic classmate, asks him to be her model
for a year-long photography project, Max agrees. Melly Hewson is everything Max
isn’t. She’s outgoing, witty and always knows the right words to say. And
despite his best efforts, Max finds himself drawn to her.
Still,
he isn’t stupid. He knows a girl like Melly will only use him and then never
speak to him again. Besides, he’s been to that rodeo. As long as he keeps his
feelings off the market, he won’t make the same mistakes as last time.
Yet
underneath Melly’s sweet smiles lies a secret she’d rather kept hidden. And as
the year goes on and the photos pile up, Max and Melly will find themselves
developing through the negatives, a story that when told could push them to
opposite ends of their world. But the only thing worst than the truth is, the
facade that surrounds them.
Excerpt
Waffles
lies in front of the door. I bend down and pretend to yank his tail. Melly
giggles and snaps the picture. Her teeth show when she smiles. Something is
different.
“What
happened to your braces?”
Melly
raises an eyebrow. “I got them off.”
“Oh.”
I frown. “When?”
“Three
weeks ago.”
“Oh.”
I shove my hands into my pockets. “Cool.”
Melly
laughs and, to my surprise, wraps her arms around me. “You know, Max, you’re
actually a pretty good friend.” She releases me.
“If
you say so, I guess.” Great. I told myself I wasn’t even going to care about
Melly, and now we’re friends. She just said so. Deep down, I’ve always seen her
as one. But now it’s official. And there’s no turning back.
