PART 1: COMPLETED PART 2 (chapter 40 onwards) INCOMPLETE *** Maddie Henderson is a bookaholic who doesn't live but survives. School is a prison and at home she might as well be a ghost. Social anxiety separates her from the world. Isolates her. Jessie Oliver is an artist who paints what he doesn't feel. Home life is just another word for hell and to him, school is his escape. Depression has built a wall between him and the world. A wall Jessie so desperately wants to break. But he has no idea how. When these two similars meet, a friendship is formed as they help each other overcome their demons. With books and art followed by pranks and a new-found happiness, will they ever know what it's like not just to survive but to live? Or are some demons just too big to defeat?
