My name is Isabella Lovato-Valderamma. Yeah, it's a mouthful so I usually just go by Izzy... The kids in school have other nicknames for me; Slut, Whore, Fatass, Btich, Emo, Attention-Seeker... it's all true of course. Why would they sugarcoat it? I bleed to feel and I don't eat to be perfect. I can stop anytime i want, and I will... once i'm perfect. You want to know the rest? Read on. I only have one rule... Don't tell mom.

"I know we will grow, and we will change. We already have. I know that life has many paths, but ours have already crossed, so why do you want them to separate? I know that in this generation, love has become something that is lost more than found. I know that I don't believe in much, but I believe in us, and isn't that enough?" . Kenzie's life can only be described by one color; black. Demi's life, with her myriad of money, awards, amazing family members, and everything she's ever wanted, would probably be seen as gold. But despite their differences, Kenzie and Demi have several things in common, like their strange love for long, complicated words and the fact that they're both hiding who they really are. Their most important similarity, however, can be summerized with just one word. Philocaly. The love of beauty.

Now I'm a warrior. Or that's what you've been told anyway. You think that I've made it, I've recovered from this illness; I am free but this is far from the truth. I am struggling, I am Demi Lovato.
