Synopsis:
To know me is to die.
Seventeen-year-old Mae is convinced that the consequences of her poor decisions have caused the untimely deaths of her dad, sister Laura, and grandma who all die within a year, no matter how ludicrous her thoughts seem to those she loves. The solution? Run away so no one else she cares for gets hurt (even if she has to keep a GPS tracker on her phone at all times).
Desperate to earn her diploma and salvage something of her life, she transfers schools when people get too close. After switching to Woodson Prep with only two months to go until graduation, Mae keeps her goals in sight. But when she meets Ty, the “perfect boy” with his own secrets and a relentless interest in Mae, she must decide if she can stop running from the past and still protect those she loves.

Excerpt:
To know me is
to die. I mean, to really know me, like when you know I can
run for hours without so much as a water break, or that cinnamon sugar
doughnuts are my weakness, or that my dad gave me a whole different name. But I
don’t let people get that close. I’ve learned the hard way. Too many people die
in my life. Grandma said I was only unlucky.
“It’s not your fault
all those people you love die. It’s just bad luck that you’ve had to deal with
grief so young. Not fair at all,” she’d said. That was right before she died on
my seventeenth birthday and right after my sister Laura, my dad, and my dog
Petie.
I direct Mom Number 4
toward the front door of the high school. I always get a new mom when I
transfer schools. I have yet to find a school that allows a seventeen-year-old
to register herself. I wanted to graduate in Ohio, but too many people started
asking questions. They weren’t important questions. Just stuff like, “How come
I can’t ever come over to your house?” or “Why won’t you ever talk about
yourself?” or when I do, “That’s not what you told so-and-so.” I had to leave.
To let people into my life isn’t an option anymore. But, there’re no worries
anyone will start to ask questions here. It’s already March. That diploma is as
good as mine. Then I can enroll in online college and try to salvage something
of my pathetic life.
