Set at a luxe, aspirational boarding
school inspired by the author's beloved alma mater Spelman College, this debut
is a captivating celebration of the friends we choose, the family we protect,
and the love we owe ourselves.
It's fourteen-year-old Avielle "Avi" LeBeau's turn to do what
everyone in her family has done: leave home to attend Briarcliff Prep―a
Historically Black Boarding School (HBBS). And as scared as she is to say
goodbye to her parents and move to Georgia, she knows her fearless big sister
Belle will be there to show her the ropes.
Before long, Avi settles into life at Briarcliff. New friends (and foes),
challenging classes (at times too challenging), and maybe a cute
tutor-turned-something-more (if her brothers don't get in the way). Meanwhile,
Belle does what she always does: she runs the campus's social scene, especially
now that she's dating Logan, the pride and joy of Briarcliff's sibling school
Preston Academy.
But something about Logan doesn't sit well with Avi, no matter how many times
Belle reassures her Logan is a good guy. And when Avi stumbles across the
truth, her relationship with Belle is put to the test. If Avi reveals what she
knows, their sisterhood might never recover. But if she doesn't, she might lose
Belle forever.
Debut author Brianna Peppins deftly balances a celebration of sisterhood,
self-discovery, and Black joy with an empathetic exploration of teen dating
violence in this novel that is, at its heart, a love letter to Black girls.
