High school has it all. Plastic girls with plastic crowns and their plastic boyfriend. They don't care about grades. They don't worry about their future, they're rich enough not to. But more often than not, plastic girls have glass bodies. And glass bodies shatter. They shatter in starvation, in purging and in mental illness. They shatter in accusations, rumors and falsity. They shatter in perturbation for they are, after all, a plastic heart trapped in a glass body.

••• Review: Wow. Simply wow. There's a lot of things that I love about literature, but there's one that stands out—and that's complete and utter bluntness. I think whenever authors blatantly exclaim explicit details and uncomfortable scenarios, it evokes an emotion inside the reader. With each different character in the book, she showed the harshness of reality, and that those who seek conformity deal with their own demons, and we—as a judgmental society—should always remember that. Maybe that's why, in the story, there are so many questions aimed at us. Who are we to judge those that have it all, when, in reality, they don't?
