All she wants was a friend. Someone who cared about her. But sadly that would never happen.
Haley has been suicidal for almost two years. She was bullied for a while, when one day something in her snapped.
She started cutting and it skyrocketed from there. She lost her only friend Maddie that died from cancer. Her mother is a druggie and an alcoholic. And her dad left when she was a baby.
So Haley has no one left to care. She is forgotten and alone. But one day there's a new kid in school. Ethan is the new boy in tenth grade and is intrigued to get to know Haley better.
The feeling of caring is new to Haley considering she never really felt it.
"Why can't I be popular and have friends?"
Levi and Lexi are twins. They are closer than close. They've always stuck together and been best friends. They've always told each other everything. After years of homeschooling, they're to join the local comprehensive, Dowerling, for Year 10.
While Levi moves straight into the popular crowd with girls swooning at his feet, Lexi totally messes up in front of them and is officially a loner. Somehow, Lexi discovers another side to Levi. One that doesn't care at all for her. One that has no time for her. The new Levi who hates Lexi.
Desperate to get her brother back, and desperate to get a social life, Lexi is fixated to an amazing website: How To Get A Life - The forum website for all the people who are struggling with making friends and being a social butterfly, with tips and chats from other users.
Join Lexi in this tale of popularity, friendship, emotions, love and discovery of the real world.
