From the New York Times bestselling author of The Descendants comes a compelling coming-of-age tale where a young privileged girl living life at the top . . . suddenly finds herself living with estranged family after her father is accused of fraud.
Life is sweet . . . until you lose it all.
Annie Tripp has everything she needs—Italian sweaters, vintage chandelier earrings, and elite ice-skating lessons—but all that changes when her father is accused of scamming hundreds of people out of their investments. Annie knows her dad isn’t at fault, but she and her brother are still exiled to their estranged aunt and uncle’s house in a run-down part of Breckenridge—at least until the trial blows over.
Life in Breckenridge isn’t quite up to Annie’s usual standard of living, but she still manages to make friends, get a crush (or two), and realize that she has more in common with her aunt and uncle than she ever wanted to know. As the family’s lies begin to crumble and truths demand consequences, Annie must decide which secrets need to see the light of day . . . and which are worth keeping.
