''You can't even take a nap anymore without being humiliated by society. Society is officially a chicken and I am their feed. I hate chickens.'' Gemma is a girl. Part of 50% of the earths population - pretty normal, by that definition, right? Except Gemma doesn't feel like a girl any more, she feels like an alien. An alien who has four legs and a third nipple on her forehead. Damn the internet. She's a meme now, ever since her brother took that snapshot of her stretching while she slept and edited it to make her look like a gorilla (How does a ten year old do that? How?!). No big deal, right? Wrong. She's being recognised in the streets - Which is insulting, since she was supposed to look like a gorilla. But still, even so, who cares? Everyone will forget soon, right? Wrong again. It turns national. And this somehow leads to her being jailed. But her best friend James will help her, right? Wrong once again (Jesus, you sure are bad at guessing) . James has his own secret problems. She's in this on her own. And that's how she'll get out of it, right?

"Did you know that you just pull me in? I can't stop thinking about you." Kieran's eyes are shut, his head against the back of the couch, while making his confession. I guess he had moved in the few moments I'd been in my own thoughts. "Is that a bad thing? I feel it too." He opens one eye and grins. "No, I don't think so. I just don't know if I'm ready." "Ready?" It's silent for a few moments before I feel his warm, rough palm on my bare thigh. It's like all my senses are ignited when he touches me. All I can feel is his hand, all I can smell is his beautiful manly scent, and all I can see is him in front of me, the rest of the world invisible. "Is it okay that I'm touching you?" I let out a deep breath and lean closer, whispering near his ear. "Is it okay that I want you to touch me more?" Kieran's eyes open, his blazing blues stare into my dark brown ones, a slight growl coming from his throat. That growl will be the death of me. -- Gemma is a junior in college who is focused on work and school. There's no time for anything else according to her father and it begins to weigh on her heavily. Another thing that's heavy is Gemma's weight. Her body image has improved since going to therapy but just like anyone else, her insecurities are still there. Gemma is confident, yet shy; organized yet anxious. She's the epitome of an overweight college student with daddy issues. And mommy issues. Just issues in general. - Kieran is a junior in college who is focused on surviving. There's alcohol, sex, and anything else that can keep him out of his own head. Kieran is from a small town that holds a dark part of his past and he's doing anything he can to forget. He is moody, goofy, and mysterious. He's also so much more than anyone thinks. When Gemma and Kieran cross paths, it's a twist of fate that will change their lives forever. Join them on their journey to self-discovery and finding love for themselves, and for one another.
