   Summary

   Alyssa Maldonado has three goals in life: get through high school unscathed, establish a career in nursing, and try not to fall in love with her best friend, Eddie Munson.

   Aly and Eddie have been best friends since middle school. They’ve been together through parental issues, insecure bullies, and Hellfire Club campaigns that lasted entirely too long, all with the power of friendship and carefully crafted mix tapes. The only time they’re not attached at the hip is during the Maldonado annual camping trip and on Tutoring Tuesdays, famously coined by Dustin Henderson.

   When Aly’s cousin goes missing, the line between fantasy and reality starts to blur.
