16 year old Beryl Oz has always been an outcast. A complete wallflower. Unlike her little sister Frida who everybody adores and envies. Because of this, Beryl always thought she'd forever remain stuck living in her sister's shadow.
But what if Beryl had the chance to start over? After finding out the heartbreaking news that her rich father cheated on her mother; Beryl, followed by her mother and sister, move from their huge Chicago home to a small apartment in Santa Monica to start a new life, and with the help of a crazy eccentric stylist, a girl afraid of her own shadow, and a mysterious boy who keeps disappearing, Beryl might just break out of her cocoon and finally become the beautiful butterfly she was always meant to be...At least that's the plan!

Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete
