Ellery Jones is starting her junior year of high school. After what happened sophomore year, she knew she needed to restart her entire life. New school, new friends, new family. Ellery has never been with the same family for more than two years at a time, she'd end up getting bored and act out so she would have to go back to the orphanage and find a new family. After what she did, she knew that no other family would want her, so she's stuck in a foster care place in Saginaw, Michigan and goes to a brand new school she had never even heard of. Elle has her last two years of high school planned out, wanting to change so that she can find a family before she's 18 for her and her sister, Renee. Elle's plan is perfect, until an athletic pretty boy named Cole comes along to make her rethink everything.
