My name is Anna. I'm sixteen years old and I have cancer. But, don't worry about me. I'm perfectly fine. The people you should be worried about include my tulip obsessed mother, her mysterious lover, The Dutch Tulip Man, and my delusional hamster who thinks that running on that little wheel of his will actually get him somewhere.

Inspired by "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", this book ventures into the depths of a boy who knows that there is something wrong with him. Throughout the years, as an outcast, as a weirdo, as a freak, he must struggle through the difficulties of growing up.

Nothing pissed me off more than fairy tales. The impossible clichés of the nerd getting the girl, the impossible non reality of the geek getting the cheerleader. Many of us have fallen into this trap, getting caught in the illusion that we have a chance with them, the populars, the ones that we look up to, and wish to be. I did, and look where this got me. Scrawling notes in my journal, desperately falling in love with someone that never noticed me, never acknowledged me. So, dear reader, I hope you will learn from my mistakes.
