Reinventing Hannah

After an unspeakable crime, Hannah’s done being the quiet girl who never makes waves. But reinventing herself comes with a steep price…

Hannah tries to be the ultimate good girl, but it’s all a lie. Terrified of being bipolar like her mom, she makes sure to take all the hardest classes, become a community service leader, and most of all, never, ever stand up to anyone who doesn’t approve of her.

But that all changes with one decision, one broken rule, and one spiked drink that steals her memory and shatters her innocence.

Now her life’s splintered into before and after. And after the party, Hannah’s changed. She won’t stay away from Brad, the ex-stoner with a painful past of his own, no matter what her friends think. She won’t let them call her Mouse anymore. And she won’t stay silent about what happened, no matter who pressures her to keep her mouth shut.

Suddenly, her best friends become her worst enemies, forcing her to make a choice, and she must not only find a way to put the pieces of her life back together but figure out where she belongs now.
