Brooke never felt like she was good enough.
Tormented by the images of the beautiful, perfect, and skinny girls that surrounded her in the hallways at school and the constant reminders that she wasn't one of them, she was driven to the brink. After nearly taking her own life through the process of starving herself, she was launched back into the social depths of high school, but with a new reputation on her head. Gradually she discovered that beneath the pretty and artificial stares of her peers, there lay a stark cruelty that she could never ignore.
This story unfolded in the aftermath, in which Brooke found herself buried in a state of seemingly irrecoverable depression. It was only when the very girl that she had grown to resent started acknowledging Brooke again that she felt her resolve slipping away. The more that her life became intertwined with that of Natalie Price, she had to ask herself if putting her hatred aside could possibly be the key to releasing herself from the prison in which she had been confined for so long.

The clash of Ms perfect and Mr. lazy genius
The world expected her to be perfect. She was the eldest, the responsible one, the overachiever who always had the answers. But beneath the polished grades and the forced smiles was a girl who barely held herself together. A girl with too many expectations crushing her chest, with anger simmering just beneath the surface, with a loneliness that no one ever noticed. Her mother barely acknowledged her existence. Her father, from miles away, drowned her in concern she didn't know how to handle. And in between, she was left to figure everything out on her own. At school, she was untouchable-the top student, the girl who never failed, the one who always had her hand raised first. People admired her, envied her, but none of them really knew her. Not the way she knew them. She had a habit of reading people, of dissecting their words, their actions, their lies. It was easier that way-keeping them at arm's length, never letting anyone too close. And then there was him. The boy who was just as smart, just as untouchable. The one who walked the halls like he owned them, like the world bent to his control. Cold, calculating, always five steps ahead. The boy who hated losing. And so did she. That was the problem. Because when you put fire and ice together, someone was bound to get burned. And she refused to be the one left in ashes.
