The saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover' should be applied to people. Melancholy Kennedy Dresses beyond weird, from sweats, hoodie's and hot pink stilettos to neon, black lace and knitwear, all in one outfit. With a strange name, strange outfits and strange secrets Melancholy should really be an unpopular and avoided loner. Shouldn't she? But some how the new girl at school goes from bottom of the social status to the top, just because of one or two little things. Tamsyin the now Ex-Queen bee is pushed out of the picture, but she is going to fight back. But will the secrets she finds make people hate Melancholy, or will it add to her popularity? And what will happen to Tamsyin when she discovers a secret, which is punishable by death?

I've been really thinking lately, and I'm actually really into this plot again so I'm gonna put it on hold (it has been unofficically for over a year) and re-structure. I like the basic structure I came up with but I'm going to change up some relationships, new character names and really aim to just mature this up. I was twelve when I first wrote this, and I really want to take these long summer evenings as an opportunity to re-write this and make it into the story I always dreamed it would become. Thank you so much to all those whom have read this, and anyone who has stood by this book over the past thirteen months. I really want to re-vamp this and that will start with a new cover and title!
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
