## Book Description

Jack: Mary Anne is changing. (Tanner: gross). Her body is changing. (Tanner: gross) Her friendships are changing, and her idea of the world is changing. But when a mysterious stranger named Logan comes into town, things start to change in ways she never expected, never wanted, and never dared to imagine. There's no question that Logan likes Mary Anne - but does Mary Anne like what she is becoming?"
