Summer is a girl who seems to have it all. Perfect grades, bubbly, nice parents, fit; the type of girl that draws everyone to her. But people don't realise that behind the smiles, there lies a girl who feels lost, alone and has been contemplating taking her life for several years. During the journey that is her life, Summer must decide whether the suffering and pain that everyone goes through will end her life, or if the joys and small beauties of life are worth living for.

This story shows that you should never judge people because you don't know them, and mentions the struggles of life that everyone faces.
