"Picture it. Camp Lyra, a rather overpriced location in Maine for all girls. A dumping ground, essentially, for the unwanted or spoiled rotten daughters of the upper crust, coming in from places all around the country. And in my case, a place for daughters with unwanted parents."
The first book in the Camp Lyra series. Follow our heroines, rich new girl Blair, working class perfectionist Jade, and sweet, sensitive heiress Adriana, as they navigate their home lives and their friendships with each other at their summer camp. Together, they find budding romance {to them at least ;)}, drama with their snobby bunkmates, and their fair share of trouble throughout the weeks. They'll either make you laugh, smile, or cringe, but they're here to stay.
Updates tri-weekly on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
Warnings: language, drinking, toxic family dynamics, and some light romance, (basically just kissing).
Keep in mind, this story was written by two teenagers. Don't judge it too harshly!
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...
