    Summary

    With his family dead and his life ruined, Bobby Nash heads to LA, determined to do two things: work off his debt to the universe, and die.

    At thirteen, Evan Buckley already knows he isn't worth anything. Discarded by his parents, he's spent nearly four years bouncing around from foster home to foster home. He doesn't expect to ever have a family: he just wants to survive long enough to get the hell out of LA.

    When they cross paths, they manage to throw a wrench in each other's plans. Neither one is prepared for just how big a wrench it's going to be.

    Summary

    Everyone knows that when you touch someone who's going to be important to you for the first time, you'll leave a mark on them. It's not just romantic love; parents and children, siblings, close friends all share marks too. At least, they do in theory. Maddie's the only person who's ever touched Buck and left anything behind.
    .
    It’s funny, growing up knowing your parents don’t care about you. The kind of funny that would get Evan uninvited from sleepovers, which is why he always changes into his pajamas in the bathroom. The kind of funny that he’s not allowed to ask his parents about. The kind of funny that makes Maddie look at him so sadly sometimes, when she doesn’t realize he can see her out of the corners of his eyes.

    Summary

    "So why not tell him, then?"
    He doesn’t want to hear the words he’ll know will come, the same words he said to Taylor, when she noticed that his entire life was meaningful relationships: it’s not the same.
    He smiles at May, knowing that it’s nothing but a sad smile. Some days it feels like there’s no joy in any part of him except the pieces he siphons from Eddie and Christopher whenever he’s allowed into their orbit. “Because it’ll hurt.”
