A poignant and incandescent debut that explores the bonds of community and what it really means to change Chinelo, or Nelo as her best friend Kate calls her, is all about her neighborhood, Ginger East. She loves its chill vibe, ride-or-die sense of community, and the memories she has growing up there. Ginger East isn't what it used to be, though. After a deadly incident at the local arcade, most of her best friends moved away, except for Kate. But as long as they have each other, Nelo's good. Only, Kate's parents' corner store is vandalized, leaving Nelo shaken to her core. The police and the media are quick to point fingers and soon more of the outside world descends upon Ginger East with promises to "fix the neighborhood." Suddenly, Nelo finds herself in the middle of a drama unfolding on a national scale. Worse yet, Kate is acting strange. She's pushing Nelo away at the exact moment they need each other most. Nelo's entire world is morphing into something she hates and she must figure out how to get things back on track or risk losing everything--and everyone--she loves.
