TALK TO ME
Crowded
halls filled with noisy teenagers.
Teachers,
homework, and never ending tests.
Hanging
with friends, dating boys, gossip, and preparing for the future.
Isn’t
that what high school is supposed to be all about?
Carly Boyles was once popular and dated the
Captain of the football team. She wanted to be like any other fifteen-year-old
teenage girl at Lakeport Central High School, but Taylor Ryans changed
everything.
Two weeks after their break-up, Carly can’t
find a reason to live after she finds her best friend Staci Garrison; hanging
all over her ex-boyfriend Taylor Ryans, Carly decides to take matters into her
own hands.
The rules no longer apply between two best
friends when a boy comes between their once forever-friendship
since middle school. One phone call changes everything and Carly’s world is
shattered to pieces.
Will she find a reason to live? Will she
tell the one secret that is killing her from the inside out?
Talk To Me
is a gripping tale of one girl’s life that will never be the
same again…
