The Build-Up Season
Seventeen-year-old Iliad Piper - Ily for short - is named after war and angry at the world. Growing up with a violent father and abused mother, she doesn't know how to do relationships, family or friends.
Her love-hate friendship with Max turns into a prank war, and she nearly destroys her first true friendship with misfit Mia. She takes off her armour for nobody, until she meets Jared, a local actor and someone who's as complicated as she is.
The Build-Up Season by Megan Jacobson is a compelling exploration of teenage life marked by conflict, growth, and unexpected connections.
