Jase Ellison doesn’t remember having acute lymphocytic leukemia
when he was three years old. His cancer diagnosis only enters his mind
twice a year: once at his yearly checkup at the oncology clinic and once
when he attends Camp Chemo in the summer. No one in his “real” life
knows about his past, especially his friends at Atlanta West Prep.

Mari Manos has never been able to hide her cancer survivorship. She
wakes every morning, grabs her pink forearm clip crutches, and starts her
day. Mari loves Camp Chemo—where she’s developed a healthy crush on
fellow camper Jase. At camp, she knows she’ll never get “the look” or have
to explain her amputation to anyone.
Jase wants to move on, to never reveal his past. But when Mari transfers
to his school, he knows she could blow his cover. That’s the last thing he Finding Balance
wants, but he also cannot ignore his attraction to her. Mari wants to be
looked at like a girl, a person, and not only known for her disability. But
how do you move on from cancer when the world won’t let you?

“Plenty of heartbreak and joy shape this compelling story,
as well as reminders to find balance in our own lives.”
