Perfect for fans of Hazelthorn and When Devils Sing, this unputdownable young adult novel follows four "troubled" teens plotting to escape a house that blurs the line between hallucination and reality.

Nobody comes to Home House by choice.

Leo was pressured into accepting a juvenile diversion sentence after a security guard overreacted and labeled him a threat. Rowan’s doctor told them it was the only in-patient psych facility with an available bed. Caroline, horrified at having been labeled a lesbian by her evangelical parents, expects conversion therapy. Frankie, who is transmasc, hides his longing for acceptance under a firebrand personality, but as a veteran of troubled teen programs thanks to his hateful birth mother, he’s the only one who knows to expect the worst.

When these teens arrive at Home House, they're promised a fresh start. But they're quickly ambushed by their own traumas in attack therapy and bullied in the name of growth. Plus, the House’s strange atmosphere twists everything, making it hard to tell what’s real and what’s not.

Though the program is designed to isolate them and poison them against each other, when the horror becomes all too real, Rowan, Frankie, Leo, and Caroline can agree on one thing: they must escape. But it’s not the adults running the house or their fellow inmates that are trying to keep them inside the houses' four walls - it’s Home House itself that doesn’t want them to leave.
