Brutally ditched by her best friend, Kara feels totally abandoned until she makes a life-changing discovery about herself—something she never even knew was there.

Best friends forever? Yeah, right.

Kara Hendricks and Jordan Ferguson have been best friends since kindergarten. By now—sophomore year—they’re more like sisters, really. Jordan has always been the leader in the friendship, but still she’s the perfect friend. That is, until she starts to hang with a new, “cool” crowd and decides Kara is a popularity liability.

Devastated, Kara feels betrayed and abandoned by everyone-even God. How could Jordan do this? Why did God let this happen? Yet for all the hurt and insecurity, these dark blue days contain a life-changing secret. Now that Jordan is gone, Kara has the chance to discover something about herself that she never knew before. But first she must learn to trust again. It won’t be easy.

Stuck in a twisted love triangle, Jordan feels absolutely green with envy until her former best friend Kara introduces her to someone even more important than Timothy.

A sick, twisted love triangle.

Jordan Ferguson and Shawna Frye became good friends a few months back—when Jordan made cheerleader and started hanging with a new group of friends. That’s how the Timothy Lawrence incident happened.

When Timothy suddenly dumps Shawna—to start seeing Jordan—rumors start flying. Shawna gets her revenge, first by smearing her former friend’s reputation. Then she steals back Timothy by tempting him with an offer he can’t refuse. Jordan feels absolutely green with envy—so much so that she considers doing everything in her power to get him back. Everything. Luckily, her old friend Kara Hendricks has been down that road too and knows Someone who just might be able to help Jordan as well.

Feeling pressured and confused, Zoe must make a life-defining decision about sex.

“Maybe I should just do it and get it over with.”Zoe is certain she’s the only teenager on the planet who’s still a virgin—okay, except for maybe abstinence princess, Callie Price. The new girl in school, Shawna Frye, has done it and talks about it all the time. She tries to make it sound so great—and maybe it is—but sometimes it sounds sort of degrading as well.

When jock-boy Jamie Allen asks Zoe out, she wonders if he could finally be the one. Nate, a die-hard Christian and real friend, encourages Zoe to consider exactly what it all means before she makes a life-defining decision. Behind the scenes, Shawna’s dark secret threatens to change everyone’s perspective on sex. But will Zoe find out before it’s too late?

Making matters worse, Morgan can’t help but feel responsible because she wasn’t there for her friend when he needed her most. Sometimes she thinks maybe Jason had the right idea all along. Morgan feels lost in a pitch-black abyss. Her only way out is to put the final clues together—to uncover an answer to her most haunting question.
