Five teenagers. One counseling office. Each carrying something different. Edwin has his art — and his weed. Malik has his scholarship — and the pills that help him keep it. Calian has his father's empty recliner — and the bottle that helps him sit in it. Faiza has her grandmother's memory — and a vape pen. Jia has everyone's expectations — and someone else's Adderall to meet them. And Jenna has been all of them. They don't know they have anything in common. Not yet.

This book doesn't play it safe. This book tackles: substance use disorder, cultural identity, grief, pressure, belonging, and what it really means to see another human being.
