Shannon Bennet has been in love with her best friend, Astley Rue for as long as she can remember. She never doubted it, she just knew. But Astley is the poster child for 'Stupid Boy'. He has no clue, and Shannon hasn't got the guts to tell him how she feels. She tries to drown herself in her schoolwork, her demanding five-hours, six-days-a-week dance classes, and in other guys to get him off her mind, but he's. Always. There. When she closes her eyes, Astley is there, painted on the back of her eyelids. Throw in mean girl, and Astley's current girlfriend, Estella McKenzie; Estella's supposed partner-in-crime, Garrett Dawson; and Estella's involvement in Shannon's twisted past, and you get one hot mess.
