I'm just a teenager who deals with mental and physical turmoil both at school and home. Please don't think of me differently because of this. I don't want anyone's pity. I don't need your help either. I have my own escape like weak prey have their escape from a strong predator. Reading is my escape. Reading is my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author's words reverberating in your head. Through books, I can be whoever I want. I could fall in love with the handsome prince, travel to exotic places,  and take the leap that almost always has a happy ending.

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...
