"Having friends is like one of those trends we'll all soon grow out of."
-by ...um me.
There's always that one kid in class, that one co-worker at your office, that one person you might have encountered in your life that has somehow acquired the non-coveted title of 'most hated'. The nobody, dork queen, loner stoner, corner seat boy, whats-her-name; we've all known them differently, haven't we? Nobody wants to spare a glance, no one is interested to speak of them or speak 'to' them, for that matter. Why would anyone be?
Well, guess what, I'm that person. Mic drop. Ever heard of that POV?
Oh no no, before you walk away thinking I'm about to dump my tears and my depression on you, I'm not. Bold of you to assume I don't enjoy being loathed, of being a solitary little lass. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself.
Welcome to the life of Ms Despicable. Buckle up, for it's gonna be a bumpy ride, considering all the antagonism hurled at you at supersonic speed. But don't you worry, you'll survive! I mean - I did too.
Just a light-hearted ChickLit satire, nothing serious folks. This book doesn't bite.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
