**LOWERCASE INTENDED.**
grace was your average junior in high school.
average grades, average friends, average life.
your every day wannabe tumblr girl who loves to read and write, but has absolutely no sense of direction for anything.
gracey believes there should be rules and limits to everything, but when she started high school she didn't realize the agonizingly long adventure that would be waiting for her, watching her every step just waiting for her to trip and fall on her face.
gracey may not be the brightest girl, but she most definitely was not the most dull. and with her friends, stories, and thoughts, her main goal is to just finish schooling without ripping anybody's heads off.
so naturally- she starts a diary.
but it's not a regular diary, it's a virtual high school hack guide.
she soon begins blogging about her experiences at school and letting all her feelings out anonymously through a website where people can read what she says and comment back, anonymously as well. grace wasn't expecting her blog to be a hit, though, but when have you ever expected something to happen the way you planned it out in your mind and it did without any flaws along the way?
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.

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...
