Phoenix Baker’s life is slowly falling apart. Her parents are fighting, her little sister, Paisley, gets diagnosed with bone cancer, and her brother, Parris, goes through a perpetual state of sorrow when the love of his life dumps him.
To make life even better, the guy she likes hates her and everyone at her school makes fun of her because she aplastic anemia, a bone marrow disorder which causes easy bruising. Phoenix makes it her goal to finish school on a happy note and to re-friend Dallas, which might be harder than she thinks. Can she do it? Or will her life crumble to pieces?
PS: This is a teen FICTION, so the facts might not be right, and easily bruising is the only thing that happens to her with the aplastic anemia, so not all the other symptoms happen because this is a teen FICTION... sorry just had to get that straight(:

He's most likely very handsome and just as rich, and magically seems to understand her. It feels like they've known each other forever when in fact they've actually just met. It's love at first sight, the guy saves the girl from whatever misery she's in, they meet only two or three problems along the way, and then it's happily ever after. But this isn't a fairytale.
