Eva is abnormal. Her hometown of Oswalno is normal. It is no wonder that Eva doesn't fit in.
Eva is kind, yet nervous, talented, but shy, overweight, and utterly self-conscious. Eva thought her whole life was going to be revolved around numbers. She had seven classes in the day, three separate notebooks, one pencil. She had two parents, one sister, one brother, 3 grandparents. But she also had one heart, one life, one passion. Blocking that was her 247-pound weight and counting.
A fight of her family, friends, unbeknownst love interests and her own health makes a battle worth risking.
Eva is abnormal. Her life might as well be too.
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.
