In life we see things picture perfect. When we don't, we assume there is another angel and its all better again. But in truth, it never is. You can put together a smashed mirror, but you can see still the cracks.
Charlotte has the perfect image, gets good grades, cheerleader, sporty, not a slut, perfect rich parents, her life is glossy and unmarked...to the untrained eye. If you looked closely her smile doesn't meet her emerald green eyes, or how her tone is as bubbly as it seems.
She's close friends with the IT boy, but doesn't have relationship feelings for him. Its just a staged couple for the world. The only person she trust with her life.
Slowly her life starts to unravel and a whole load of drama is here.
A twisted story of lies, love and crazy people.

β¬ πππ π»ππ£π οΌ πππππ₯ πππ£πππ€ β¬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.
