Rin Ishida knows exactly what she is: a ghost in the hallways of Sterling Prep, a scholarship kid one scholarship-fail away from disappearing. She was fine with being invisible until the day Chloe Sterling—the school’s sun, its center of gravity, its golden girl—decided to look back at her. When Chloe saves her from a locker-room ambush, Rin thinks she’s found an angel. She gets the clothes, the seat at the "it-girl" table, and the intense, undivided attention of the most powerful girl in school. But Chloe’s kindness comes with a high interest rate. It starts with small suggestions—who Rin should talk to, what she should wear, why her old friends "don't really understand her" anymore. Soon, the walls of Rin’s world start to shrink until there is nothing left in it but Chloe. Every time Rin tries to take a step toward independence, Chloe is there to remind her of how much she owes. And as Rin discovers the truth behind the "accident" that brought them together, she realizes that Chloe didn't just save her life—she orchestrated its destruction so she could be the only one left to piece it back together.
