Pretending and lying.
It's a fine line and a delicate balance.
The bruises on her skin will heal but what about the bruises on her heart? Robin was trying to escape an abusive situation and then she could start the rest of her life. At her new high school, all she had to do was stay under the radar until graduation. What she didn't count on were the Whitmore Brothers interrupting her plans. Now, her troubled past catches up to her and threatens to ruin her future. Robin has no choice but to pretend because all their lives and (her heart) depend on it.
But how long can she keep up the act?
Find out in Pretend, a young adult contemporary romance from indie debut author Jennifer Conklin.
