Sugar Coated Secrets by Carmen Rosales

SOME SECRETS ARE ROTTEN INSIDE.ESPECIALLY IF THEY MUST BE KEPT.
DULCE

Throughout high school, I was invisible, silently hoping Ford Keller, the quintessential bad boy everyone adored, would notice me.

When he asked me out, last minute to prom, I thought my prayers had been answered. It turned out to be a cruel joke, one that nearly broke me completely.I smile.

I pretend everything is fine, running my grandmother's bakery.

I act like I don't remember him from school, but I remember most of the things they did that fateful night. In a town with every reason to lie, there is no one I can trust.

Not him. Not them.

I need to get the hell out of this town, but I can't, not yet. To survive, I have no choice but to play their game.

IF HE'LL LET ME GO.
