Quinn scribbles tainted emotions across thin layers of white paper. But to who? To someone who blinks once, sees her, and blinks again-just to make her disappear. To someone who sees her as a symbol of the ocean. To someone who thinks the ocean is disgusting and hideous, filled with trash and pathetic wandering fishes. To someone who believes that Quinn needs to be a size zero to be labeled as 'beautiful.' If she isn't, why in the world will anyone care to love her? She's disgusting. Worthless. An enormous sailboat that makes the world sink. But how long will it take until she sinks herself?

Rose Harmond and Savannah Greene have been best friends forever (and a half). As seniors in high school, they're pretty sure nothing can break the bond they've had since first grade. That is, until Rose's dad dies unexpectantly, sending her into a slow-spiralling depression that even Savannah's fun-loving and optimistic personality can't pull her out of. As Rose withdraws deeper into herself and away from the ones who love her, she becomes more and more obsessed with the online mafia game called ScumFighters. There, she befriends several quirky online personalities who not only help her cope with the death of her father, but also offer her important life lessons as well. Told through chatlogs and various other forms of media, Scumhunt is a thought-provoking look at friendship, lies, the Internet, and how they can bring people together--or tear them apart.

A smile crossed Death's cold, skeleton face. "Looks like you're out of a job," he told her. The angel looked up at him, shocked. "I-it's not as easy as it looks," she insisted. [A compilation of short stories that are sometimes about life, but mostly about Death.]
