"You're the girl who tutors. You're not supposed to matter."
"And yet here you are, sitting at my table."
Mara Delgado survives Westbrook High the only way she knows how — quietly, invisibly, alone in her corner by the rattling heater. When the school's star quarterback needs a tutor or loses his starting spot, he lands at her kitchen table with a battered textbook and too much ego. They're enemies at school and something harder to name at home. As his ex-girlfriend sharpens her claws and the walls between them wear thin, Mara discovers that the most dangerous thing isn't being bullied. It's being seen.
