From the international bestselling author of the Bright Side series comes a thought-provoking, eye opening story about the complexity of family, the devastation of loss, the destruction of depression, and the unequivocal power of kindness and perspective.

There are two sides to every story. The surface reality that's presented to the world... And then there's the other side. The real one. The one that matters.

Seventeen-year-old, self-proclaimed asshole, Toby Page, is alone. No friends. No family. He trades maintenance work in exchange for room and board.

When Alice Eliot moves in downstairs, she offers Toby some light in his dark world. At a crossroads and barely hanging on, it's hard to have perspective. It's difficult to see your own worth when you're the villain in your story. Luckily for Toby, Alice brings things out in him that no one else ever has.

As the two sides of Toby's story are revealed, and the full reality comes into view, truth is gained, unlikely heroes emerge, and improbable alliances prove that kindness is fundamentally human.

The question is, Will it all be enough to save him?
