The Ruiner

Tamsyn Riva expected the summer she turned fourteen to be her best summer ever. With the friends she made her first year of high school at her side, anything seemed possible. Until him...and Tamsyn's quiet life twisted into a spiral of chaos and isolation. Nothing fits into place anymore and Tamsyn finds her inner world, once a place of brightness and safety, turned dark. A year later, Tamsyn meets new student, Emilia Sanchez, and slowly she begins leaning into the risk of friendship. Trust isn't easy for her, especially as circumstances with him continue to unfold. With Emilia's support, Tamsyn finds her voice once again, bringing her closer to the feelings she's held inside herself for way too long. The truth always finds a way to the surface, and Tamsyn soon learns that she can be a harbinger of such for both herself and the people she loves.
