Evan Black has everything he could want: popularity, a position on the school's football team, and girls following him around everywhere. Plus, he and his band have people lining up around the block to see them play. What more could he ask for? Her, that's what. The girl who he sees in the hallway, hiding her scars under her sleeves and her problems under her hood. All he wants is to talk to her, and to get her name. Then, one day, it happens.
Helena Harper is alone with her music. No one cares to talk to her, or even look at her, for that matter. Her classmates don't seem to understand her mood swings or the scars on her arms, hidden by her black hoodie. Then, one day, she catches him looking at her- the guy she has liked since Junior High- and her whole life changes.
Together, Evan and Helena face good times and bad, all the while facing her Bipolar Disorder and peer pressure. Even when tragedy strikes, their friendship and love will go on for eternity.
