If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you.

Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school.

Weak. Broken. Unwanted. Useless. These words flashed in my mind as I received my punishment. Kick after kick, punch after punch. "Please, I beg you, please stop!"

I was unwanted, useless, and weak. Sobbing hysterically, I curled up on my bed as I cried myself to sleep. -------------------------------------------------------------- Leah Taylor is a wallflower.
