Meanwhile, Brett gives up his meat-eating ways and admires Chloe for her strong convictions. But when Brett sees Chloe going way overboard (in his opinion, at least) and putting herself in danger, her pressures her to give up her activities. Will Chloe turn her back on her beliefs...or on Brett?

(With a steady boyfriend, the position of Student Council ...)
With a steady boyfriend, the position of Student Council President, and a chance to go to an Ivy League college, high school life is just fine for Holland Jaeger. At least it seems to be.

He's unexpectedly begun to lavish her with extravagant gifts. The Snob Squad is on the case and their suspicions stop at no one - not even each other.

In the precarious place where attraction and need collide, a teenager experiences the dark side of a first love, and struggles to find her way into a new light. From the Hardcover edition.
