Surviving High School - by Electroni (Paperback)

About the Book

Freshman Emily Kessler needs perfect grades, a rigorous training schedule, and record-breaking swim times. She survives by limiting her fun to lunch with her best friend Kimi and the rare Friday-night sleepover. But when she starts to fall for Twin Branches High's heartthrob, and secrets about her deceased sister, Sara, start to surface, Emily begins to question the strict path her life is on.

Book Synopsis
