2020 WATTYS WINNER in NEW ADULT! Oliver Ausman has been given a second chance at life, but it's hard to feel grateful when he was the one trying to end it in the first place. Returning to his normal life after being released from the hospital is hard, especially since his parent's idea of normal is made up of dinner parties, prep school, fancy suits, and fake manners-- all paired with a complete disregard for the mental health of their firstborn. He's long been fed up with it, but the final straw is when he finds out that his "father" isn't actually his father at all. Oliver decides he's had enough of the perfect facade, so he packs a suitcase and grabs his younger brother, "borrowing" his mother's car to sneak off on a trip to find his biological father. But he never expected to pick up a girl with her own similar set of problems, to be followed across the country by a money-hungry pair of criminals, or most of all, to find out that maybe this life thing isn't as bad as he thought.

Allisson Harley felt like she snapped right of a thriller novel. The sixteen year old beauty was far from perfect. She was a victim of domestic violence that made her an orphan and left her with horrible scars. Sixteen year old Hunter Vaughn was a golden boy whose life was once perfect.Handsome, rich and with a genius IQ, he felt that there were was nothing he couldn't do. But a tragedy took away his perfect life... along with the gift of sight. When they met, they were both running away from their nightmares. Though Hunter was blind, he looked past Alice's scars and saw how beautiful she is. She was his angel. He was hers. Hunter went away with a promise that once he returns, he will be capable of protecting her. But once he got his sight back, is he still willing to keep the promises he made her? Will he still look past the damage that her nightmares had caused her? Or will he go back to his perfect life and leave her in the hands of a new angel who took his place when he left?

It may feel good to be pretty, but the problem with being beautiful is that there are thousands of people who look like you. Ugliness, however, is unique. ------------------- One girl, a walking-talking example of contradictions -- ambitious but naive, kind but blunt, social but awkward -- is living in perhaps the most competitive society in this world. She has a dream, a fairly conventional and acceptable dream, one which every parent would approve of. Unfortunately, millions of others share this dream, and in order to fulfill hers, she has to eliminate her competition, literally. Throw in a fair share of drama. Friends and family, crushes and exes, decisions and choices, and the life story of an Indian teenager would be complete. ---------------------- The last few years of school are the most memorable; grades, stress and career mixed with friends, fun and dreams. But most of the time when we are planning our awesome candid picture-perfect life, we end up crossing the 'i's and dotting the 't's. ------------------------------------ COMPLETED ON JULY 14, 2018 Featured in the teen fiction reading list of Wattpad India!
