Hayley isn't normal. Duh, Hayley is troubled. But the difference between other stories and Hayley's story is that it's based upon true events. If you want a well written addicting story about real life cutters and how they truly are, then read this story. This is not an overly dramatic, unrealistic love story written by a twelve year old who knows nothing about life...this is real. Read tell me what you think and I'll tell you more on Hayley's story.
