The one thing my parents can’t shelter me from is my heart. I nearly died the summer of my eighth grade year, and ever since then, my parents have done everything they could to keep me healthy. Now I’m a senior, and instead of feeling safe, I’m suffocating. When my parents take my twin sisters out of town for an audition, I have my chance to show them that I’m responsible. That I can go to college on my own and start a life outside of their organic food store and Emerson Academy. All I have to do is turn in all my assignments and have a few quiet nights at home. No problem. That is, until my video project partner decides to be a total flake. Ray may be hot and fill out a pair of Wrangler jeans like nobody’s business, but he is not ruining my chance at freedom. I go to his family’s ranch to get his help, but instead discover something else. Could everything my parents taught me be wrong? Unless I act fast, my quiet weekend will ruin my chance at freedom and wreck my heart faster than the flash of my camera.
