It all started with one dream and the click of a computer mouse...
Felicity is a nerdy girl who loves to sit in a café either reading novels or writing stories in empty notebooks of ideas, notes, or even some chapters of her almost finished novels. She is very bright for her age and goes to Chilton Preparatory Academy, where she is at the top of her class.
Felicity has a secret life that no one knows until someone close to her figures it out by her username. For a long time, she hides the fact that she is one of the best authors on a social platform called Wattpad. She has over a few million reads on her novels, over a million followers, she has won multiple awards for poetry, short stories, novels, etc.
Each day she hides behind her laptop screen, takes a few sips of coffee, listens to music, and begins one of many writing projects. As a little girl, she had this one dream of becoming a published author, where she travels the world and has her own books come to the big screen.
Maybe one day she will have a contract to publish her novels and become a best-selling author in the US and finally achieve her dream.
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.
