How long can April hold on when Jonah’s mental illness threatens to endanger his life-and hers? April is used to being ignored. So when her only friend transfers to a different high school, April braces for the worst year of her life. Then she meets Jonah. He actually understands her, and she is swept away by his charisma. But Jonah’s haunted by traumatic events from his past, and as he slips into a depression, he lashes out at April with a knife. April stands beside Jonah when he’s committed and diagnosed with schizophrenia. But as his health declines, she must make an impossible choice: stick with the boy she loves or let him go so they can both heal.
