Description:For eight years, Joy has been Drake's shadow—the girl who comes running at 3 a.m., who absorbs every cruel joke his friends make, who is mocked as his "devoted little dog." She owes him, after all. He nearly died saving her from drowning, and the asthma that ended his dreams is her fault. Everyone says so. Her own mother says so loudest.So when Drake finally sneers the words she's been waiting eight years to hear—"My girlfriend wants you gone, so get lost"—Joy doesn't break. She breathes. Because no one on earth wanted free of him more than she did.Now, for the first time, the choice is hers. And in the places she never thought to look, someone has been quietly, faithfully waiting to be chosen.A tender, cathartic story about repaying a debt that was never owed—and finally choosing yourself.
