Seven Ten Third- By: Sara Mack

On a warm spring night in May, three lives changed forever.
Lucy Anderson was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Cody Cunningham lost his life.
And Aaron Matthews couldn’t stop it.
As their senior year begins, Aaron and Lucy must learn to navigate Holton High after the loss of its popular star athlete. Practically strangers, the two find themselves thrown together in a way neither of them dreamed possible. Aaron’s best friend is gone, Lucy is responsible, and the school is playing judge and jury. As Aaron and Lucy’s feelings for each other grow … so do the tensions at Holton High.

Stumbling into a web of secrets and lies, Aaron and Lucy’s relationship hangs in the balance. Who can they trust? Is the truth worth telling? And the more they discover, the more betrayed they feel. How far is too far to protect a lost friend’s memory?
