And I sort of, kind of, absolutely hate my name.
People expect extraordinary things from a girl named Comet. That she’ll be effortlessly cool and light up a room the way a comet blazes across the sky.

But surely that will change once she leaves to attend university somewhere far, far away.

Tobias has a dark past and runs with a tough crowd—and none of them are happy about his interest in Comet.
