Now Is Everything — Amy Giles
Be the smartest. Be the best. And be invisible when necessary.
Hadley McCauley knows that's how you survive in her household. So she's the perfect student, perfect athlete, and perfect daughter, all to keep her father happy and off her little sister Lila's case.
The McCauleys look perfect on the outside. But nothing is ever as it seems, and this flawless family is hiding a dark secret.
Hadley will do anything to keep Lila safe from their father's abuse. But when Hadley starts secretly dating Charlie Simmons, the boy she's had a crush on for years, her world shifts. As their relationship deepens, the tension, violence, and stakes at home escalate, culminating in an explosive accident that will leave everyone changed.
When Hadley arrives at the hospital after the accident and attempts to take her own life, everyone--from her friends to her doctors, to the investigator on the case and her family--wants to know why. Only Hadley knows what really happened that day, and she's not talking.
NOW IS EVERYTHING is a powerful story told in alternating THEN and NOW chapters from a talented new voice in young adult literature, about what one girl is willing to do to protect her past, present, and future.
