Erika Kingsley fits the stereotype: blonde hair, blue eyes, rich dad. In definition: the spoiled blonde brat. But she isn't. The real her wants to be accepted, but can she in a very judgemental, ignorant world? Her family is portrayed as perfect in the media, but behind the camera, Erika is a completely different story. She's grown up in the facade of perfection and happiness. She may seem happy, but she yearns for something to save her from the battle she has with herself in her own mind. Lucas Perry fits the other stereotype: invisible, loner, smart, middle-class. In definition: the dejected loser of the social ladder. However, there is more to this new kid and why he puts on a 'I'm smarter than all of you' façade. As they say, a lack of confidence and happiness can manifest itself into arrogance and some serious irritation. As the stereotype goes, two worlds collide. But soon after, they find the other to be the same. Two people who need someone; someone to pull them away from the inner demons that hold them hostage. They both needed to be saved from their most challenging force: themselves. *TRIGGER WARNING:READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* This book contains serious topics such as anxiety, panic attacks, disability, addictive substances, depression, mental illness, self-harm, and suicide.
