Flaws

❝This was the biggest change I had ever had in my life. And I was freaking petrified of it.❞

Fern Ruskin is moving house; the biggest change in most peoples lives.

One problem. Fern is terrified of change.

She has cried for nights when her family bought a new car, selling their old one. She wept for weeks when she took down some posters from her walls, replacing them with new ones.

However, she has told no-one. She identified her problem herself. Metathesiophobia. Now, she is forcing herself to deal with it the same way.

But, in this scary new world, she knows one person in her new village. The boy next door.

They gradually become friends, letting each other in on their deepest darkest secrets. But can Fern bring herself to admit her greatest fear? Not spiders, not wasps. Change. Will she finally learn to trust someone to accept her, flaws and all?
