Everybody thinks Syrah is the golden girl. After all, her father is Ethan Cheng, billionaire, and she has everything any kid could possibly desire: a waterfront mansion, jet plane, and custom-designed snowboards. But most of what glitters in her life is fool's gold. Her half-siblings hate her, her best friend's girlfriend is ruining their friendship, and her own so-called boyfriend is only after her for her father's name. When her broken heart results in a snowboarding accident that exiles her from the mountains-the one place where she feels free and accepted for who she is, not what she has-can Syrah rehab both her busted-up knee, and her broken heart? Justina Chen Headley writes with an engaging wit and a powerful, distinct voice. Her first novel, Nothing But the Truth (and a few white lies) was a Border's Original Voices nominee, a Book Sense pick, and received a starred review from Publisher's Weekly: "Headley makes an impressive debut with this witty, intimate novel."
Have you ever had a crush on someone you shouldn't have? LAWSON I did. I knew that I shouldn’t be looking at someone so young, but I looked anyway. He had silky mahogany hair and a smile that made my heart skip a beat. He sat next to me during the flight. I never should have struck up a conversation with him. But I did. I was way too old for him. I didn’t let it stop me. I knew what I wanted, and I wanted him. Note: if you don't like two heroes in peril and mysterious drug cartels causing problems, pass on this book.
