Battle Hall Davies is sure of some things: She’s going to Reed this fall; she loves girls; and her older brother, Nick, outshines her. He ran away four and a half years ago; now he’s tracked her down, and she’s spending the summer at Forest House, where he lives in Portland. It is a summer of surprises. Battle is swept into Forest House’s community Shakespeare production, their all-night card games, and the arms of her new housemate, Meryl. As the weeks pass, Battle realizes that Nick isn’t who she thought he was—and she isn’t who she thought she was, either.
