They were wrong.
When five Crestwood teens are forced into a therapy circle, their secrets begin to surface and so do the whispers that follow them through classrooms, hallways, and glowing screens.
Emma sketches her dead brother in graphite shadows, filling her notebooks with faces she can't let go.
Caleb's fists clench around a game that's gone forever, his dreams shattered with a single snap of bone.
Jas hides behind jokes until her mask begins to crack, laughter stretching too thin to cover the emptiness underneath.
Priya counts every step, every bite, every breath, until the numbers consume her more than the perfection they promise.
And Logan whispers same into the silence, unseen by everyone until now.
But confession doesn't come without consequence. The circle was supposed to be safe, but outside its walls, every truth bleeds into rumor. Every crack becomes content. Whispers spread faster than they can run. Posts echo louder than they can fight. Screens turn their pain into spectacle, replayed and reshared until survival feels impossible.
As their voices tangle, so do their fates. Anger collides with grief. Jokes scrape against silence. Pressure builds until someone breaks. And in a town where everyone is watching or worse, scrolling past these five teenagers must decide whether to keep carrying their pain alone or risk trusting each other with what hurts most.
Raw, relentless, and unflinching, This Place Hurts is more than a story about grief, anger, and survival it's about what happens when silence is no longer an option. For readers of Courtney Summers, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, and Karen M. McManus, it asks one haunting question:
How do you keep living when your pain is louder than your voice?
