520 |a No one in Delray knows Jae A<U+0192>enyo's story-that she's a teen mom who placed her baby for adoption-and she intends to keep it that way. After moving in with her uncle, Jae is looking for a fresh start. But an accidental run-in with the school's delinquent Derek Patel is not exactly what she had in mind. She soon finds a haven in the poetry club-at least, until Derek joins. Derek Patel is desperately clinging to his old life-where his dad was alive, his mom was healthy, and they lived in an oceanfront estate instead of a run-down pink bungalow. He'll do anything to hide his problems from his friends, including breaking into his old house to keep up the charade that he still lives there. But the house now belongs to the school's lit teacher, who offers him the chance to join the poetry club as a penance. As the newest members of the club, Jae and Derek are tasked with planning the end-of-semester poetry reading. While Derek is hell-bent on keeping his broken family a secret, Jae is desperate to prove to her uncle that she's more than a walking statistic-which means guarding her heart against Derek, who her uncle thinks is no good.
