Seventeen-year-old Virginia makes bad choices. In fact, shes That Kind of Girl, according to the whispers. But as long as she has her tight group of best friends by her side, shes able to ignore the gossipers. Until she finds herself spending time with Rumi, Poppys boyfriend. Breaking with tradition, she doesnt hook up with Rumi. Worse, she falls in love with him.

While Virginia and Rumis relationship grows in secret, she discovers that his little sister, Lyra, is being groomed for abuse. The soon-to-be-abuser is a respected member of the community, and only Virginia knows who he is and what he does. If she stays quiet, Lyra will become a victim. But coming forward feels equally impossible.
