Izel era una persona tan real que le costaba fingir para las redes, pero aún así lo hacía, y muy bien. Por eso cuando Zane la conoció, con los ojos hinchados de tanto llorar, casi no le cree que es "Issy", esa chica carismática y energética que todos ven en la red.
Zane, según Izel es todo un Mr. Perfección, de esos que se enrollan con quien quieren, te presumen su vida perfecta, vapean y vuelven a repetirlo todo.
¿Qué hay detrás de esos prejuicios?
"A veces creo que nací para querer a los demás, no para ser querida"
"Es cierto. No naciste para ser querida, naciste para ser amada"
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.

Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
