About the book
After Ivy is forced to move to \"the wrong side of the tracks\" due to economic hard times, she discovers that not everything—or everyone—is what they seem, even herself. Fans of Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen will love this funny, poignant, and relatable story.
When Ivy Emerson's family loses their house—complete with her beloved piano—the fear of what's to come seizes her like a bad case of stage fright. Forced to give up her allowance, her cell phone, and the window seat in her lilac-colored bedroom, Ivy moves with her family from her affluent neighborhood to Lakeside, aka \"the wrong side of the tracks.\" Hiding the truth from her friends—and the cute new guy in school, who may have secrets of his own—seems like a good idea at first. But when the bad-boy-next door threatens to ruin everything, Ivy's carefully crafted lies begin to unravel . . . and there is no way to stop them.
Once things get to the breaking point, Ivy turns to her music, some surprising new friends, and the trusting heart of her disabled little brother. And she may be surprised that not everyone is who she thought they were . . . including herself.
She’s caught between the boy she shouldn’t want and the one she thinks is perfect. What happens when her two worlds collide?
- Wrong Side of the Tracks: Forced to trade her affluent life for a rundown apartment, Ivy must navigate a world she was taught to fear, all while pretending nothing has changed.
- Bad Boy Next Door: Her new neighbor Lennie Lazarski has a bad reputation and a talent for showing up at the worst possible moments. He might just be the one to expose everything.
- First Love Triangle: Torn between the charming new student who seems perfect and the dangerous boy from her new neighborhood, Ivy discovers first impressions can be deceiving.
- Heartwarming Family Story: At the heart of it all is Ivy's love for her special needs brother, and the sacrifices a family makes to stay together when they lose everything.
