In "The Bargaining" by Carly Anne West, 17-year-old Charlotte decides to confront her grief over her mother’s death by taking a dark and dangerous path. She enters into a twisted pact with a manipulative boy at her new school who claims to know a way to undo the past. As Charlotte delves deeper into this bargain, she finds herself caught in a web of choices that challenge her perceptions of love, loss, and the lengths one might go to in order to reclaim what has been lost. The story explores themes of sacrifice and the haunting nature of unresolved pain. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
