Zoë Valentina. Black hair, blue eyes. The 'perfect girl'. No. She hates herself. She hates her body. She hates her appearance.
Michael Clifford, on the other hand, very tall. Coloured hair, black skinny jeans and 80's Rock shirts. Vans, Converses. Michael is Zoë's boyfriend.

"Hey, Zoë what's this?"
Michael pulls out this book, which seems very familiar to Zoë.
"It's nothing." Zoë insists.
"Weight loss..." Michael reads.
"It's old, Michael." She shakes her head.
She walks over to michael and takes the book, tossing it into the bin.
"If it was nothing why did you throw it away?"
"Because, Michael. I don't need it anymore." Zoë shakes her head once more.
"Are you tracking your weight?" Michael asks.
"I was." Zoë says.
"You're perfect." He says. "Don't think you're not. I love you."

Zoe's just been in a fatal accident and she realises that her life will never be the same again. Her friends have ditched her, her mum is dying. She only has her annoying but loveable brother to keep her company.
Then new boy Max joins the school. He might be the perfect opportunity for Zoe to find a friend.
But Skye Taylor is the local bully; she wants to do nothing more than ruin Zoe's life.
How far will Skye actually go to stop Zoe falling in love with Max? And when she shatters Zoe's life apart; it feels like nothing will ever be the same again, even now.
But Zoe isn't going to give up; she needs to confess her feelings.
Skye isn't going to give up either and what she is planning might shatter Zoe's world and her heart...
