Meet Vanilla Honey Lemon Strawberry Rickstone, your classic believer in fairytales. A believer in leprechauns, unicorns, mermaids and trolls. She even believes in "forever" when she finds her MR. Right. Everyone knows there is no such thing as 'forever.' But no one can stop Vanilla from believing there is.
Senior year came in and she is now positive that she'll finally meet the man of her dreams, her Mr. Right, the perfect man. A man who would pick her up when she's down, tie up her shoe-laces for her, love her, care for her, a man who is smart, devilishly good looking, kind, and should possibly have a halo on his head and invisible wings on his back.
Then you throw in Anthony Theodore Black, "Tony" to his friends, and "human pig" for Vanilla. He is everything that Vanilla ISN'T looking for, a man-whore, a player, your classic bad boy, and Vanilla's Mr. WRONG.
Mr. Wrong + a loser = DISASTER
BUT, could Mr. Wrong be Vanilla's Mr. Right?
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.
