Something Like Right

Summary

Zay's ma always said his mouth would get him in trouble. Sure enough, it got him into his first and only fight, junior year. Expelled from his district, Zay understands that his only hope for redemption is to transfer to Broadlawn Alternative School.Zay isn't thrilled about the disgusting school lunch and classroom trailers at Broadlawn, and boarding with his aunt Mel and her live-in boyfriend isn't the greatest. But he'd rather be there than in the city dealing with his estranged father, his overbearing mother, and the fallout from his fight. Besides, Broadlawn has Feven, the beautiful new student Zay is starting to get to know—and fall for.Still, first love is rarely a fairy tale, and as Zay's time in Broadlawn comes to an end, he learns that shaping yourself within a new place is a lot harder than letting it shape you."Incredible heart, incredible voice, incredible story, H. D.'s Something Like Righthas it all!"—NICK BROOKS, author of Promise Boys
