Diego Benevides works hard. His single mother encourages him to stay focused on school, on getting into college, on getting out of their crumbling neighbourhood. That’s why she gave him her car. Diego’s best friend, Lawson, needs a ride―because Lawson is dealing. As long as Diego’s not carrying, not selling, it’s cool. It’s just weed. But when Lawson starts carrying powder and pills and worse, their friendship is tested and their lives are threatened. As the lines between dealer and driver blur, everything Diego has worked for is jeopardised, and he faces a deadly reckoning with the choices he and his best friend have made. Award-winning memoirist and poet Rex Ogle’s searing first novel-in-verse is an unforgettable story of the power and price of loyalty.

Rex Ogle is the award-winning author of Free Lunch, Punching Bag, Abuela, Don’t Forget Me, Road Home, and, most recently, When We Ride. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
