After the loss of her father, the trajectory of Reese's entire life is knocked down, shattered and destroyed. Seems to her like the silver lining between wanting to live or die was her devotion to skating. An art she had mastered with her father before his passing.
So what happens now that Reese no longer has anyone to keep her afloat? Her older sister, June B would seem like the only other option, that is if Reese didn't hate her with her entire being. Her sister and her being polar opposites arose the same questions amogst their peers. How could someone as delicate and thoughtful like June be related to that of a monster like Reese?
Reese must set herself apart from the comparisons from her mother, and the expectations of those around her. Where she eventually finds herself making foolish decisions, rendering relationships and engaging with a boy who converts her mind into a corn maze.
And now she's trapped inside.

So she decided to end it. But before she ended her life, she wants to feel loved. To feel cared for. To feel. So she decides to date one of the most popular boys in school, Tyson Bent, who she knows has a bet with his best friend. A bet to get her to sleep with him. She knows he doesn't really care about her. But sometimes it's nice to pretend. After all, she's only supposed to be with him for a week. After that... well after that she's not even going to be alive. Tyson had it all, the popularity, the looks, the money, everything. And he never missed a chance to flaunt his supposed perfection. Another thing about him is that he never backs down from a dare. So when his best friend dares him to sleep with a girl named Tiana, how can he refuse? But when he reads her diary, he has another mission. A mission completely different from the dare. A mission far more important than a dare. An added bonus being the chance to finally find out who he is and not who everyone else wishes for him to be. A chance to grow into the person he could be.
