About This Book

Maya Rivera has perfected the art of agreeing. Yes to the club she doesn't care about, yes to the joke that isn't funny, yes to whatever Leila's raised eyebrows are waiting for โ€” because being easy to like feels safer than being seen. Even her sea-glass green pencil, once her favorite color in the world, has gone pale and untouched at the bottom of her case. Then one small, honest idea escapes her at a Culture Club meeting, and the room goes quiet in a way she wasn't ready for. Some friends look surprised. A few quietly shift their chairs away. And Maya is left wondering whether telling the truth was worth the fallout.
