Crystal seemed like an ordinary girl, but she only pretended. She was in depression. Her parents were divorced, she was abused by her dad, she had a half-brother, and the worst of it... her mom had committed suicide four years ago. When her mom was gone, she didn't care about life anymore. She hated her dad for betraying her and her mom. He thought he could buy her love by paying rent on a California apartment and a cat. She was thankful, but she would never forgive him. Crystal was very insecure and her life was already a wreck, so she started self-harming. Cutting, drugs, burning, etc., it all started right after she figured out about her dad. She only continued living for 5 reasons; her mom, her best friends Zayn and Lexi, her half-brother, Ryan, and her cat Punkin'. Those were the only people in her life she loved, until she falls in love with Zayn in a different kind of way. He had a girlfriend, Brittany, a preppy rich kid who got whatever she wanted and more. She hated Crystal and wanted to ruin her life, which was already done. Will she be able to be with Zayn? What will happen when she and her dad get in an argument? The answers are in the book.
