No summer of freedom. Instead, I'll be working at a convenience store, earning money just so I can cover bail.

No future. Just a series of humiliating "rehabilitation techniques" designed to teach me a lesson.

The only silver lining is Aaron—a mystery wrapped in a leather jacket and wielding car keys—who just happens to show up right when I need him. Now I only feel alive when we're driving together, the wind in my hair.

Maybe finally getting a life only happens once you think your life is over.
