   Summary

   Cordelia has spent years trying to escape the life everyone else chose for her.

   When a rivalry with the infuriatingly disciplined Lavinia turns into something far more complicated, Cordelia is forced to confront what she actually wants, what she’s been running from, and why leaving one life behind does not mean leaving behind the people in it.
