Tragedies change people. That being said, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the accident changed Gemma. Anger problems seem like the only issue to her, but her father and evil step-mother see a lot more than that lying underneath. Unable to help her, they go to their last resort; they send her to Safe Haven, a summer camp for troubled teens. Haven is a place where misunderstood teenagers can realize their problems and work through them in a safe environment. At least, that's what Gemma thought. The first things that come are the notes. Each one is written with a specific message on it, targeting the accident that killed her best friend and blaming her. The next are the secrets; everyone has one. But does everyone have one about her? The threads start unraveling as Gemma searches for the person who's hurting her; the person who is trying to drive her insane. But the closer she comes to uncovering the secret, the closer she comes to realizing that not everyone is who they seem.

"Do you want to talk? You know, about everything?" Evan asks. He's staring up at the star-covered sky as he holds our brown bag of French fries. I finish my sip of my vanilla milkshake despite not wanting to stop and follow his gaze. The stars twinkle against the black and wish I had brought my camera. Somehow I thought that bringing it on our maybe-maybe-not date wasn't appropriate. "I don't know," I smile, "everything seems like a lot of talking." Alabama Reed has fooled herself into thinking that this could work and she knows it. With an accident she's trying to downplay and a loss she can't seem to forget, things aren't looking good. So Bam's parents do the only thing they can think of; they take their daughter and drive her halfway across the country to sleepy Mermaid Bay to live in an empty cottage for the summer. Things quickly start looking up when Bam realizes the newspapers don't cover news that happens hours away, but as soon as she starts making friends and secrets of her past start unraveling, Bam finds out that you can't always run from your past - even if you actually run away.

"Well, look who it is. Fat Amy." She laughed her beautiful, perfect laugh and the crowd so willingly laughed along with her. Tears streamed down my face as she turned to leave. And as she strode away, one thought burned deep into my heart and soul. I won't be fat for long. And you'll regret it, my dear sister. ~ Amy Mae Felicity Meyers has many names. Big City, being one. Fat Amy, inspired by Pitch Perfect, being the popular other. And in one perspective, that name fit her perfectly, when her mother's famous boutique clothes and father's extravagant business parties couldn't. However, many things did fit her. Like her love for acting, theatre, and photography. Her dogs Chanel, Nardo, and Sandra. Her cat Franco. Her undying love for horizontal running when compared to vertical running. And most importantly, the inner insecure girl who wanted to be nothing less than normal. Unfortunately for Amy, she had every reason not to be. So when this charismatic, kind hearted girl decides to prove the school's stuck up populars wrong; that she did have something worth living for, she didn't know that she'd lose a part of herself along with her weight. But maybe, just maybe, the school's intimidating delinquent, Peter Paxton, can help her gain it all back.
