{This story is full of clichés which I'm not especially proud of. Beware}

'Your life does not get better by chance.
                                    It gets better by change.'

While Victoria valued popularity and perfection more than ever, those words only left a sour taste in Damon's mouth. It was no secret that those two neighbors were completely different and ignored each other as much as possible. But the unexpected visit of her preferred elder sister changed everything. 

After a night call with her brother from Canada, she realized that she may not have been living the life she was supposed to. She didn't want to be a plastic- like her brother called her. She only wanted to follow the path of her sister. But now she understood that it was only an empty dream. 

With the help of Damon who seemed to be the only one to not give a damn about anything, Victoria set up a quest to change herself completely without destroying her relationship between her family and friends. 

Join those two in their weird yet lovely journey to make what seemed to be a struck-up, rich, ignorant girl in anyone else's eye blossom into a carefree, dynamic, young lady.

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here. I love the fact that it's realistic and focuses on things that really hinder human interaction, perceptions and stereotypes." - yurfavegal "just gets better and better. How are all your characters 3D! Like this writing is so beautiful" - CrazyStarChick "Reading it for the second time, and the book still brings a smile to my face 😆" - grumpymood "She's practically Carter's twin 😂😂" - Guardian_21 #1 Breakingcliches #1 Arrogant #6 in Teen Romance
