What is a girl to do when your already terrible life drops to a whole new level of bad, so bad that you can't even remember a time when it was good?

Jesslynn Brooks is the bad girl who doesn't know when to stop. Ever since she lost the only thing keeping her feet on the ground, Jesslynn changed into the girl who parents warned their kids not to even talk to. The thing is, she wasn't always like this. 

An early memory of Jesslynn will show you a sweet little girl with brown pigtails, a bright pink dress, and an even brighter smile running around the school yard chasing her best friend Carmen Sanders. There was never a time when those two girls weren't attached by the hip. 

After a tragic accident that leaves Jesslynn broken so bad that there isn't anything to bring her back, she gives up on more levels than one. Drinking, partying, late night hook-ups, and getting arrested are a normal thing in the daily life of Jesslynn. Taking things to far doesn't even being to cross her mind until she might have just driven herself off of the biggest cliff to ever cross her path; metaphorically speaking. So when she actually does end up taking things to far, Jesslynn finds herself in a situation where her pessimistic attitude might not be the only thing taking a change for the better.
