Kat Black is lost. Not the kind of lost when you can't find your way home, but actually lost. As in, the kind of lost when, you've been wishing for someone your entire life, and then they break your heart. Kat is sarcastic, funny, idiotic, childish, loving, and in Ryan's eyes, would make your reputation plunge.
What happens when the roles change? Kat officially hates Ryan's guts, or so she says, while Ryan, slowly but surely, begins liking Kat. An eensie-weensie bit at first, but a little bit more, and then a little bit more. What happens when the world becomes a little bit more screwed up? What then?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
