Maeya Evans is not a good girl, nor a bad ass, she's a happy medium. She's had her share of sneaking out, drinking underage, doing marijuana once or twice, (pressured, of course.) but drugs? Heavy drugs? She'd never. Or so she thought.
Until she met a boy....perfect for her. Suave, debonair, charming and cute. Everything about him screams perfect. He's even rich! But what Maeya doesn't know is that he's a narcissist and a sociopath. He cares about no one or nothing but himself, and will step on anyone, hurt ANYONE to get what he wants. And what he wants is to get his business off the ground. His business is what makes him rich, though Maeya doesn't know that. Maeya thinks his family is his source of income, but she's wrong. Devon is a drug dealer. Molly- to be exact- is his specialty. And first hit's on the house.
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...
