Contrary to the rumours, Athena Bells is not lucky. Her elder brother was the result of a relationship at 15, and as if that weren't enough for Penelope Bells, Athena Bells came out of Penelope when Penelope was merely 17. Juggling high school, especially after a nasty discovery about her best friend, Athena finds herself making decisions- decisions about boys; something she's never done before. Maybe, at the end of it all, she might just discover that she isn't who she wanted to be.

Maybe just maybe, Athena Bells is broken?
