What would you risk to protect your secrets? Bowie Monroe knows a lot about keeping secrets. She's been helping her "boyfriend" keep his secret for the past three years. A devoted friend, daughter, and "girlfriend," everyone can count on Bowie to come through in a pinch. When she isn't harboring other people's secrets, Bowie is hiding secrets of her own. Despite being abandoned on the day she was born, Bowie has had a decent life with her quirky adoptive parents and inseparable trio of friends. But there are blanks in her history that she desperately wants to fill; so focusing on everyone else's problems distracts her from drowning in her lack of identity. And then Bowie meets Jonah. Cool, confident, supportive Jonah invades Bowie's heart and inspires her to confront her insecurities. Her relationship with Jonah is good for Bowie, but bad for the skeletons she's hiding for others. As Bowie fights to balance her commitment to her friends, parents, and now Jonah, she is constantly ignoring her own needs. When the secrets and lies begin to close in on her, Bowie must fight to find her voice and face her biggest obstacle. Herself. In her debut novel, author Jasmine Cartwright weaves a heartwarming and witty tale of self-discovery, sexuality, identity, and what it means to be a true friend.
