Revenge always seems like the perfect plan.
Yet people don’t think of the consequences.
Clara Jones is one of those people.
She has a past, just like everyone else. Although her past is tainted. It’s been ruined, scribbled on, screwed up and trodden on. Her past was full of misery, confrontation and quite frankly, she’d love to forget all about it. But this past is holding her back; she takes one step forward and gets dragged two back.
So why not get revenge?
Why not ruin the lives of those who ruined hers?
But will it all plan out like she wanted it to?
After all, revenge is a funny thing. Once you start, it’s hard to stop. But once you do stop, do you really much better about yourself? Or does ruining a fellow human beings’ life just make you as bad as one of your victims?
Follow Clara on her quest to change her life. Whether that’s for better or worse; who knows…
(A/N, I know it doesn't sound like it, but this is a sort-of teen fiction / a kind-of romance story...with a twist)
