Not when Natalie nearly gets expelled anyway. Not when her advice hurts more than it helps. Not when a boy she once dismissed becomes the boy she can't stop thinking about.The line between good and bad has gone fuzzy, and crossing it could end in disaster . . . or become the best choice she'll ever make., Slut or saint?
