Saving Everest
by Sky Chase
Everest is the most popular boy in school. He's handsome, wealthy, and captain of the football team—he has the world at his fingertips, but he's desperately unahppy. And when those feelings become too much to bear, he tries to take his own life.On the surface, Beverly's different from Everest in every possible way. She's quiet, shy, hard working, and keeps to herself on campus, focusing on her schoolwork and her part-time job, distracting herself from her less-than-perfect upbringing.When Everest returns to school after his attempt, he's in more pain than ever. Discarded by his friends, he draws little empathy and too much attention from those who surround him. But when Beverly andEverest meet unexpectedly in a dusty corner of the old library, they discover together just how rich life can be when given the freedom to just be yourself.
