Description:

Stacey Williams had always loved Axel Teller.

But he had paid her no mind. She wanted more than the meaningless flings they had. She wanted her love to be returned. She wanted to be loved back.

She did everything to get his attention. She had one-night stands with countless boys - throwing away her innocence - and tearing apart her reputation.

All for him.

But Axel didn't notice Stacey as anything more than a girl to have a fling with on the side. And Stacey watched as the boy she loved fell for another girl, and they were happy and complete. And Stacey was alone and hated.

Tarnished and scarred.

She was the girl he left behind...and the girl he never remembered.

This is the story of the girl we hate. The 'bitch' who is always in the way. The 'whore' who tries to steal our favourite characters man. And the girl who ultimately, always gets left behind.

This is her story.

My Opinion:

This is a short story which touches upon a sensitive topics like bullying- so it might be emotional. I'm not normally a cry-baby but while reading this book I cried because it seems so realistic and stuff which happens in this book actually happens in real life. To me it's a typical bad-boy, good-girl love story but told in the point of view of the inevitable'bitch/slut' in every love story who bullies the good girl because she previously dated the bad boy or whatnot. It's so deep and it's literally addictive; must read!
