Description

Harriet Adu knows that her brothers death is her fault. I mean, its not actually her fault, but it still kinda is, isnt it?

She would do anything to live in a world where she could take back what she said that morning.

Then a strange girl shows up at Harriets high school a girl who loves the same weird books Harriet does, who doesnt vibe with anyone at school the same way Harriet does and that different world suddenly seems possible. The girl speaks of a place underneath the subways of New York, where people like them can go and find a home. A place away from the world of high school, grief, cool people, and depression. A place where one may be able to bend the lines of reality and get a second chance at being a better person.
