When I look in the mirror I see rolls of fat, stretch marksand big thighs and arms. Mostly, that's all I really see. But should I? We are thought to believe if you can't be like the girls or guys in magazines, then you aren't beautiful. 

Lauren Silver used to hate herself until she found out that she didn't have to. She had just moved, again, when she met Adrian King, who seemed to help her. He was the bad boys best friend, you know the actual broody one who talks to absolutely no one. They met through his sister Riley, she would always try to get them to talk but both resisted. Both of them thought they would have nothing in common. As they start to bump into each other at the library and bookstore and form a bond Lauren remained tentative to let him in. Lauren held up her walls because she knew what it felt like to be betrayed and hurt by people she had trusted. What she didn't know was that Adrian also knew what it felt like. When Adrian and Lauren get close she realizes her way of thinking has been misguided and like it was set into her brain, they weren't her thoughts but those of society. 

In a journey of bullying, self-love, self-hate and trust Lauren and Adrian learn to rid themselves of society's grip on their lives. Maybe others will follow their lead. We all know society is a bad bad influence, but do we do anything to stop it?
