Isla is living and learning.
With no life plan, getting herself through university without frying her brain was all she could think about. Complicated just was not going to cut it for her.
And Jamie Abel?
Boy, he was complicated.
In order to survive, Isla O'Grady told herself four things: • No one cares about anyone else. No one cares about your hair that you probably haven't brushed or the shirtthat you've probably already worn twice that week. • Read a book. It helps to escape this world from time to time. • Your friends are cool. Your friends like you. You are (somehow) not a loner. • Stay away from Jamie Abel.
And she tried. She tried so hardto follow these rules, but it was so easy to fool herself into thinking that everyone was staring at her. And she didn't really have time for reading- which was the worst. Because why wouldn't you want to escape to an entirely different world, when the one you are stuck in completelyand utterly sucks? Also, she had a hard time believing in her friends sometimes- apart from Alice, she was great- because she had a tendency to doubt herself (guilty, but then who didn't?)
And Jamie Abel?
God, Don't get her started.
