In Between Days

GRIPPING AND UNPUTDOWNABLE (Christina Lauren), The Outsiders meets The Breakfast Club in this darkly funny, suspenseful coming of age story about first love, friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. What if your high school enemy has secrets worse than yours?
Highland Central is a powder keg. Just one spark would make it explode. When bad boy Jason meets rich girl Samantha, sparks fly.
Samantha Ward can be a little mean, but mostly she's a nice girl. She's not doing coke in the bathroom or having sex by the bleachers. She doesn’t even see it happen. So when the worst boy in school starts a war with her, she's shocked.
Barbie girls like Samantha rub Jason Devlin the wrong way, even though most girls will rub him any way he wants. People call him the Devil, but school is hell, home is worse, and girls and fights make good distractions.
Punk rock Pris is Jason's best distraction yet, and they're not even fooling around. “Prissy” and “Sammie” used to be friends, but Pris can’t stand what Samantha’s become, and Samantha doesn’t notice her old friend is back. Jason wants to teach Samantha she can’t look through people like that.
It works too well. Samantha starts looking, and sleepy suburbs don’t give up their secrets gently. As mean girls, angry boys, and corrupt grownups converge, Highland’s shadows erupt in violence. Can high school enemies stand together to fight a bigger battle?
It's 1985 in the Chicago suburbs. You know the scene. The teen princess. The bad boy. The punk rock rebel. The high school. The mall. The blood-stained Mercedes. Misogyny. Homophobia. Class warfare. Cocaine. It's a party, crank the Bowie, let's dance.
