Publisher's summary

A beautifully realistic, relatable story about mental health and the healing powers of art, perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow's Girl in Pieces and Jennifer Niven’s All the Bright Places.

It’s been two months since the Night on the Bathroom Floor - when Lily found her sister, Alice, hurting herself. Now Alice is coming home after treatment, and it’s getting harder for Lily to outrun the compulsive thoughts she's having.

Meeting Micah, a guy with a troubled past of his own, the pair embark on a poetry project that helps Lily to see that the words she’s been holding back, desperately want to break through. But what will Micah think if he finds out who she really is?
