She takes a breath, holds it, and then she lets it out, slowly. Breathe. Breathe.
Tegan Nichol Jordi has picked up the broken pieces of her life and put them together before. She doesnt know if she can survive doing it a second time.
In the Northern Californian town of San Ren, Tegan is barely holding herself together. Shes working two jobs, attending college, dealing with a demanding family, and trying to keep her chaotic mother afloat. All while a group of girls Tegans closest friends call the slut squad make it a mission to ruin Tegans life. In spite of it all, a glimmer of hope shines through she gets accepted by her dream university, and finally has a chance to move to Washington state; a dream shes had for as long as she could remember.
But mean girls wont let up, old traumas resurface, and one terrible, terrible night leaves Tegans fragile mind in shatters.
Breathe. Breathe. Inhale, exhale.
Tegans lungs are burning, but Tegan is fine. Shes always been fine, and shes going to keep being fine.
Until the broken pieces fall away again. And she peers into the depths of how not fine she is.
