Ona je naizgled obicna tinejdzerka preodredjena da spase svet, a on naivno malo bice koga svi vole zeljno svetske dominacije.

Senke su svuda oko nas. Ne, ne one senke koje nastaju kada je neki predmet zaklonjen svetlošću u tami. ONI su svuda oko nas. Čitav svet van našeg dometa pronašao je način da tajno funkcioniše van ljudskog vidokruga. Posmatraju nas, ponekad čuvaju i normalno žive svoje živote. Živote čiji je tok poremećen 1999. godine. Živote koji čekaju da budu spašeni. A ona je pokretač. Cover je napravila: @violet-steel

"When I tell you that he hates me, you'll probably assume it's because he's a jerk...but you'd be wrong. He's not a jerk. I am." --- Several years ago tragedy struck Emma's home, leaving her broken... like a cup with cracks spiraling and slithering around the edges. Slowly, bitterness crept in like tar, hardening between each fracture to resemble a deceitful wholeness. She became a monster, and targeted her venom on the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon. Too bad the boy Emma longed for was Trinity's brother. Now, as Emma fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She paints her fragile cup in pinks, yellows, and oranges - all the colors of the sun. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking. But she's completely unprepared for the acidic truth that melts away the tar, demolishing her shell, and awakening the Emma White buried deep inside. --- Book 1 in The Dismantled Pride series *Story was previously titled "Faking It"
