Until It Hurts to Stop

by Jennifer R. Hubbard

Book Overview

When you can t trust anyone, how can you ever feel safe? In seventh grade, Maggie Camden was the class outcast. Every day, the other girls tripped her, pinched her, trapped her in the bathroom, told her she would be better off dead. Four years have passed since then, and Maggie s tormentors seem to have moved on. The ringleader of them all, Raleigh Barringer, even moved out of town. But Maggie has never stopped watching for attacks, and every laugh still sounds like it s at her expense. The only time Maggie feels at peace is when she s hiking up in the mountains with her best friend, Nick. Lately, though, there s a new sort of tension between the two of them a tension both dangerous and delicious. But how can Maggie expect anything more out of Nick when all she s ever been told is that she s ugly, she s pathetic, she s unworthy of love? And how can she ever feel safe, now that Raleigh Barringer is suddenly terrifyingly back in town?"
