Jesse Bolier has built his life around two things—water polo and secrets. At sixteen, Jesse is a star athlete at his private Catholic school, finally safe with the family who adopted him out of foster care. He’s trying to improve his reputation, but the anger is always there, just below the surface. Determined to change, Jesse makes a decision: if he doesn’t want to be like his bio mom, he has to stop acting like her. But change isn’t something you can fake, and it doesn’t happen all at once. With a foster sister he fiercely wants to protect, teammates who don’t trust him, and Sarah—who sees more in him than he’s ready to accept—Jesse tries to build something new. Even if he doesn’t know how to hold onto it. Because this time, if he loses control, he might lose everything.
