Most bands aren't created at the hair salon, but we're not 'most bands', so I guess it makes sense.

They call me Harvard, for reasons I still don't completely understand. I guess I was somewhat damned to be a musician with a name like that; not that it bothers me, I'm actually quite good at my job.

I'll tell you, none of us expected to get to the top of the charts. In fact, our humility about our skills stretches so far that you could say we actually think ourselves to be quite bad, which, according to our many critics, is a huge white lie.

I guess I should tell you what this is. Hello, welcome to my story, where I tell you about how my band was born. This is my The Amazing Book is Not on Fire to Dan Howell and Phil Lester, my I Am Malala to Malala Yousafzai. This is the story of my life. (If you 1D fangirls tell me you didn't just hum Story of My Life then you sit on a throne of lies.)

Well, the story of Double Dare, I guess.

But before you turn the page, listen when I say this: you are about to enter the mind of an emo, a fangirl, a literature lover, and a music fanatic.

Don't say I didn't warn you...

****This is a work of fiction. The band Double Dare does not exist, and all characters are made-up. Just a heads up.

Suddenly perfection isn't her only option. ***** Ella Volkov is a gifted music student, but she's depressed and starting to crack under the pressure of high school. Her overbearing father won't even let her choose what instrument she plays. Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. 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...
