"Nobody wants to admit they do it, but everybody knows that everybody does it." ✎✎✎ Gwen Harmon is trying to survive high school just like every teenager. With her senior year approaching she's trying to play it safe, keep her grades up, and of course please her high maintenance family. The stress from it all is piling on top of her like AP Algebra assignments. Not knowing what to do, she turns to the last place she would expect herself to go, the internet. When Gwen stumbles across a new and popular blogging sight, she decides to give it a try. And what starts off as a simple stress reliever turns into an unhealthy obsession. As her blog starts to become one of the main topics of conversation at school, Gwen struggles to keep her identity a secret. For saying even the smallest thing could give her secret away. The blog has taken over her life. She's constantly in a tug-o-war battle between school, sleep, her blog, her friends, and even her family. Struggling to keep her identity a secret, Gwen must rely on the last person she thought she would go to, RJ Simpsons, one of the first people she labeled. Labeling behind a masked identity is a dangerous game. For one false move, one wrong phrase, one accidental blog, and everything could end up in flames. Everything could be discovered... Even the identity of the Label Maker herself.

One girl. One boy. One secret. And only one mistake. One night. One conversation. One reason. And only one night to change everything. One long-lasting love. One short summer. One decision. And only one logical solution.
