Alice, and simple normal girl.. Yah, honestly that's all she is. Well what you would call normal for this generation. Internet freak, Book-nerd, fandom flipper, ultimate shipper, YouTube obsessed - I could go on. All she wants to do is fit in with the rest of the crowd, at school. Do some sports, be a trend setter, make a ba-gillion friends. That's not her though, all she wants is the live the world of books and internet. She is a in-famous YouTuber, she does video once a week, and it's one of her past time. Go with her and her journey though life, and maybe some other things she'll find along the way through this life.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.

Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
