Be the Girl

K.A. Tucker

A YA contemporary novel about Aria Jones, a teenage girl who moves to a new town with her mother to escape a painful past and reinvent herself. She befriends her neighbor Cassie, who is autistic, and falls for Cassie's popular hockey-playing older brother Emmett, all while hiding a secret that threatens to unravel her fresh start. At its heart it's a story about bullying, forgiveness, and the long shadow of past mistakes, wrapped around a sweet coming-of-age romance.
