A powerful debut novel from the New York Timesbestselling author of Some Girls. Jillian Lauren's breathtakingly honest memoir, Some Girls, earned both critical praise and outstanding sales.

Everything seemed simple when Aaron, Bebe's musician boyfriend, promised that they'd start a new life in San Francisco.

As she tries to piece her life back together with the help of her makeshift family of friends from the halfway house where she's in recovery for addiction and from her beauty school, she finds salvation in unexpected places.
