The Year I Stopped Conforming.

Carlotta Santisi didn't like to cause a fuss. She never spoke up for herself; just went along with others' ideas because it was easier. She thought it would help her make friends; because for some reason she didn't have very many of those. Enemies and haters, however, she had in abundance.

But one day, when the school bully goes too far, something inside Carlotta snaps. She has aspirations of her own, and she's 100% done with suppressing them. This decision, a decision to stop playing by society's rules just to make others' lives easier, sets in motion a sequence of events that will change her life forever.
