Brutal Precious

Sara Wolf

Life meets death. The end meets the beginning. Eighteen-year-old Isis Blake hasn’t fallen in love in three years, forty-three weeks, and two days. Or so she thinks. The boy she maybe-sort-of-definitely loved has dropped off the face of the planet after his girlfriend's death, leaving a Jack-shaped hole. Determined to be happy, Isis fills it in with lies and puts on a brave smile for her new life at Ohio State University. But how long can that smile last with all of her friends gone? How long can it last with the guilt of Sophia's death crushing her? And how long can it really last when Will Cavanaugh attends the same school, taunting her? Isis is good at pretending everything is okay. But not that good. The cracks begin to show. Isis Blake is good at putting herself back together. But Jack Hunter is better.
