Nothing Burns as Bright as You

After two girls set a fire, a single reckless day becomes a reckoning with the relationship that brought them there. They were once best friends, certain of each other's place in their lives. Then affection crossed into romance, and the closeness they wanted began to blur into something harder to understand or control. Moving between the immediate aftermath and their shared history, this novel in verse follows the shifting boundaries of devotion, dependence and hurt. Neither the intensity of their feelings nor the years behind them can offer a simple answer about what should happen next. They must face what they have meant to each other and what that love has cost.
