Description

Lou Connor's life is marked by desperation and longing for escape. When she's offered an exchange student placement in America, it seems like her dreams will finally come true. But as she settles into her host family's beautiful suburban mansion, the suffocating atmosphere begins to unravel. As Lou navigates this new world, she must confront the repressed emotions and ingrained prejudices that lie beneath its polished surface. With a vivacity and vulnerability that mesmerizes, Hyland brings her protagonist to life in a story that dissects the complexities of adolescence with unflinching acuity. This is a haunting tale of self-discovery, where the lines between hope and despair are constantly blurred.
