What does it mean when you thought you knew someone? What does it mean when that person is your new boyfriend? Courtney Summers meets Deb Caletti in this page-turning suspense story of what it is to face hard truths about yourself and others, and how to find strength when you need it most. Sixteen-year-old Erica Walker is a webcomic artist who wants to fit in at her affluent new high school.

After their electric first kiss at Saturdays lacrosse match, Erica and Thomas are both elated to see where their new relationship could take them. The next morning, however, following a drunken house party, Erica wakes up half-clothed, and discovers words and names drawn in Sharpie in intimate places on her bodynames belonging to Thomass lacrosse friends, including the boyfriend of Ericas best friend. Devastated, Erica convinces herself Thomas wasnt involved in this horrific so-called prankuntil she discovers Thomass name on her skin, too. Told in alternating viewpoints, Erica seeks to uncover what happened while battling to keep evidence of her humiliation from leaking out, as Thomas grapples with his actions and who he thought he was.
