Then, through a twist of fate, she finds herself locked in the faculty bathroom with her former best friend Beau. Stuck together for the next twenty hours or so, they have no choice but to dredge up recent events, confront each other, and work through their problems. Told in alternating "then" and "now" chapters, their shared captivity leads to an easy-to-anticipate romantic breakthrough.
Cute and surprisingly breezy romance, in which the heavier material about family disintegration and Indy's acting out stands in awkward juxtaposition. There's some pretty heavy stuff going on in this story for a story that obviously mostly wants to be about Indy and Beau finding each other. There certainly would have been easier ways for that to have been pulled off.
