That’s how she’s surviving after her uncle’s attempted suicide. Skye keeps putting on a fake smile—for her parents, her therapist, her friends, and her seemingly perfect boyfriend, Malik. Once she’s crowned Southern Belle at prom, maybe she can leave the past behind her.

But when a viral video at the dance exposes Malik’s betrayal, Skye’s carefully curated life unravels.

Besides the writings of Sylvia Plath, her one unexpected constant is Ace— a quiet new boy with his own past.

As Skye and Ace work on The Bell Jar project, their connection deepens. Is Skye ready to move on?
