Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles


Caleb Becker left a party drunk, got behind the wheel, and hit Maggie Armstrong. After a year in juvenile jail, Caleb’s finally free… but nothing will ever be the same. Everyone in town seems to be staring at him, and his sister has drastically changed since the accident. 
Maggie Armstrong walks with a limp even after years of physical therapy. Her social life is gone and her chance to study abroad has been cancelled. Can she handle the fact that Caleb is now free?
Caleb and Maggie are both outsiders… one a “freak” and the other a “criminal”. Who would’ve thought that these two lost souls would somehow end up together? Then one day, Maggie finds out what really happened that night…
