Ambrosia Vours is in her last year of high-school. She's in the top ten students at Stonecrest High and her social life is pretty average. Things changed, months ago, when the school's resident bad boy stole her heart- and then crushed it. Brosia deals with the pain while trying to struggle through classes. If her grades slip, she can't get into a University in the city and leave her annoyingly small hometown behind, so she kicks it into gear... but when a new guy moves to town and catches her eye, the shit hits the proverbial fan.

A sweet love story that questions 'love at first sight'; set in modern times with hints of a Cinderella story-line. Shakespearean quotes from several plays and sonnets are intertwined within the story as well, but I can provide any translations (if needed, leave a comment and I'll get back to you ASAP).

Other quotes from a wide variety of literature may be mentioned and/or quoted too.All Rights Reserved
