How do you accept love when everything around you is falling apart?

It was never easy for Cassie and her mother, struggling to make ends meet in their tiny apartment in the Bronx, but they had each other and that was enough. When her mother dies suddenly from cancer, Cassie is forced to finish high school in California with a wealthy friend of her mother's.

Living with the Stanton's is the complete opposite of what she's used to—the massive house, a traditional family unit, and Cody, the spoiled, insanely good-looking son with the bedroom across the hall.

But when events tumble out of control and an attraction disguised as friendship turns into something more, things get complicated. Cassie’s always keep people at a distance. Was it a mistake to trust?

Deep, emotional situations mixed with lighthearted banter. Everything I Knew to be True will have you riding the twists and turns to the very end. Perfect for young adult fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han.
