"If the man stayed on the sun for the entirety of his life and completely ignored the moon -- his happiness would soon burn out. If the man stayed on the moon and ignored the sun, his life would be dark and full of craters. However, if the man was to jump between the moon and the sun, balancing happiness and sadness, he may cry without despair and smile without regret." ***************************************************** Eleanor Grace Parks thought she had all of her life figured out. With a newly sober father, his wife, the perfect friends and her boyfriend, her life seemed to have no faults. But as events pan out and the dark side of her moon is revealed, all really isn't as pristine as it seems.

The internet is full with social media and sites where you can be yourself. The internet is not a competition to be the perfect weight, or have the most perfect smile.

You'll always find her at her laptop at home, or tapping away instead of communicating or doing everyday activities. Procrastination is the only thing she's good at, accept typing with her eyes closed. Bea has never really fit in at school, with her "olden day" name, low self esteem, small house and unique fashion sense, the total opposite to what you'd find in an average high school in Indianapolis. But Beatrice soon begins to find opposites do attract, and not by looks - but by country.
