The Long Game

Vivian Cross

Description：
When Claire Lawson's father dies in a factory accident, she loses more than a parent — she loses the only person who truly saw her. Her mother remarries quickly, and Claire finds herself an outsider in a blended family where her stepsister, Ruby, gets the dresses, the money, and the love — while Claire gets the cold shoulder.
For seven years, Claire plays the long game. She hides her brilliance, absorbs the injustice, protects what little she has left of her father, and quietly builds her escape.
Then her SAT scores come back — 1540 — and everything she was pretending to be falls away.
A deeply emotional story of a girl who survives by staying invisible, and frees herself by finally being seen.
"Some silences are a form of strategy."
