She's not crazy. Just a little eccentric. Penny Rosemary, your typical nerd who caught herself a bit of trouble near the end of the school year when she beat the crap out of her best friend's ex-boyfriend. She's not a violent person. Really. But that's what everyone thinks of her as and Penny just can't help but feel indifferent about her situation when she's got all of her attention on the new girl in town. She's bad. She's mean. She's tough. And she has a glare that can pierce right into Penny's heart. And the best part of it all is that the bad girl has taken resident in Penny's house. Now that's crazy. A classic nerdxbadgirl duo, only that Penny isn't your classic nerd and might leave a trail of chaos along the way. --------- -Warning!

A stranger to her own existence, Kayla moves to a small town with the hope of finding comfort in a fresh start. But as she steps inside the unfamiliar classroom on the first day, standing in front of the class is a mysteriously familiar face, one that rouses memories of a time she believed had gone by. With past baggage catching up in the most intrusive ways, she stumbles upon unexpected comfort of friendship, unconditional love of found family, and a beautiful yet complicated bond between two hesitant souls.
