Sixteen-year-old Devon Mackintosh has always felt like an outsider at Keaton, the prestigious California boarding school perched above the Pacific. As long as sheâ€™s not fitting in, Devon figures she might as well pad her application to Stanfordâ€™s psych program. So junior year, she decides to become a peer counselor, a de facto therapist for students in crisis. At first, it seems like it will be an easy fly-on-the-wall gig, but her expectations are turned upside down when Jason Hutchins (a.k.a. â€œHutchâ€), one of the Keatonâ€™s most popular students, commits suicide. , Â , Â Devon dives into her new role providing support for Hutchâ€™s friends, but sheâ€™s haunted by her own attachment to him. The two shared an extraordinary night during their first week freshman year; it was the only time at Keaton when she felt like someone else really understood her.Â  As the secrets and confessions pile up in her sessions, Devon comes to a startling conclusion: Hutch couldn't have taken his own life. Bound by her oath of confidentiality,â€”,and tortured by her unrequited loveâ€”Devon embarks on a solitary mission to get to the bottom of Hutch's death, and the stakes are higher than she ever could have imagined.,Read an excerpt of ,Escape Theory,. ,http://bit.ly/Yi5DZf
