When �crazy� runs in your family and your namesake is known for walking into a river with a pocket full of rocks, a girl kind of wants to avoid tempting fate at all costs. For Virginia Nichols, the only way to dodge that bullet is to be perfect at everything: school, student council, life. Too bad it�s all a lie, and underneath the perfection...Virginia is lost.
Ryder Blackstock knows a thing or two about being born into fate. The talents passed down from his father aren't exactly normal; instead of learning how to throw a fastball, he was taught to hot-wire a car like a pro and pick any pocket in sight. He�s got criminal blood, just like his old man. And as soon as he turns eighteen, he�ll be living life on the run with his dad.
When Ryder and Virginia meet on the beach, it seems they couldn't be more different. Soon they discover they�re both trapped in their lives�Virginia denying her fate, Ryder embracing his. Like the rocks in Virginia Woolf�s pockets, the weight of their destinies will pull them under. But being together brings out pieces of themselves they didn't know existed�pieces that make them want to take fate into their own hands and rewrite their destinies...if it�s not too late.
