Ash and Us

Hay Rhodes, Brit Kaiser, and Ash Marcobs had formed a beautiful friendship at the beginning of middle school-one they were certain would last forever. Wherever Hay led, Brit was happy to follow, and Ash was too-or at least that's what Hay thought, even if as high school drew nearer, their fighting occurred more frequently. It seemed out of nowhere that things took a dark turn, and not only did Ash not want to be their friend anymore, she didn't want them to be alive anymore, either.
Tragic events took place one dark night in Oliver woods, and once Ash landed herself a spot in a psych ward, Hay and Brit vowed never again, to speak of the horrors that took place that night. Now, three years later, Ash has decided it's time to come home. Refreshed, sane, and more gorgeous than ever, Ash returns to the city of Amberstone, eighteen and on her own, eager to win back the hearts of her two best friends. Of course, none of Hay and Brit's classmates think they would ever fall for her tricks, but when Hay and Brit decide it's better to befriend Ash again than to face the consequences of what would happen if they didn't, everyone begins to question why Ash was really sent away in the first place. And why on earth she would ever want to come back. A novel full of love, lies, friendship, and danger, Ash and Us shows that the way you treat people has a lasting, powerful impact, and that words and actions can cut equally deep.
