When sixteen-year-old Lily Larkin's older sister, Alice, begins to struggle with her mental health, Lily attempts to keep everything together and perfect, despite her own growing anxiety.

"It's been two months since the Night on the Bathroom Floor -- when Lily found her sister, Alice, hurting herself. Since then, Lily has been trying to be the perfect daughter, friend, student, and athlete. But now Alice is coming home from her treatment program and it's becoming harder for Lily to outrun her feelings. Especially when she meets Micah, a guy with a troubled past of his own. Micah was in treatment with Alice, and he seems determined to get a Lily to process not only her sister's experience but her on. Because Lily has secrets, too. Compulsions she can't let go of and thoughts she can't drown out. Things that don't fit with the perfect girl she's supposed to be. When Lily and Micah embark on an art project that involved finding poetry in unexpected places, Lily realixes that the words she's been holding back desperately want to break through. But what will Micah think if he finds out who she really is? And will Lily ever be enough?" -- from publisher.
