Story

The story

When college applications open, the Sullivan family gathers around Maddison, the younger twin everyone adores. Her older brother Tyler steers her toward Crestview University, her childhood friend Brandon Carter pushes Kingston in Arlington, and their parents beam at the thought of everyone in one city. Only afterward do they remember that Ashley Sullivan took the SAT too, and they tell her to pick any school in Arlington.

Ashley has scored 1560, higher than either elite university requires, but no one asked about her score, because Maddison wept after the exam and the family rushed to comfort her. In their eyes Ashley exists only to make her sister shine. So she searches for South Coast University, more than 700 miles from home, and submits her application in silence.

At dinner every dish is Maddison's favorite, and when Ashley asks for chili, her mother calls her difficult. After eighteen years of giving way, she no longer wants to.

Opening excerpt

Our older brother, Tyler Sullivan, pointed at the top university on the list. "Obviously, you're applying to Crestview University. You'll be my little sister on campus, and I will look out for you."

Our childhood friend, Brandon Carter, slid another brochure across the table. "Ignore him. Come to Kingston in Arlington instead. We can spend another four years together."

Mom and Dad smiled in agreement. "Being in Arlington would be perfect. You'll have people taking care of you there, and we'll have peace of mind."

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
