The perks of being a gatekeeper don't really outweigh the cons, but it's still better than being locked inside for weeks at a time. That's at least what Paisley tells herself to ease her mind when facing the dangerous reality. At any given moment she could lose her life. No freedom of movement. Nowhere to run when Mr. Clearvy's unwanted advances drive her mad. The only thing that continues to make her smile is exchanging notes with Cory. Paisley is the reason Cory does anything. She is his favorite thing in the world. Standing on the opposite side of the gate, unable to see or hear Paisley, Cory does what he can to make their lives more bearable. He knows he can write things to make her laugh and to make them both forget the darkness that surrounds them. Surviving for Paisley is his daily goal. But he wants more than notes from her. He wants to see her face to face one more time. With the help of their friends, Cory and Paisley form a plan to escape Y. But the risk of failure is high. Mr. Clearvy is watching Paisley more closely. And when doubts of successfully executing the plan mess with Paisley's head, it's up to Cory to be the anchor for them both. A raw, sweet, fast-paced dystopian romance.
