It seems the mind of a 12-year-old girl -going on 13- is a little bit... strange. Some would even go to the extent to say insane. With always feeling the sense to fit in with everyone else around you, why wouldn't it be?
Clarity Victor-Hark is starting High School, and when she arrives to find it a lot different to how it was advertised in Primary School. First of all, not every one is waiting in line to be your best friend, neither is everyone got a personal bully who makes your life miserable.
Clarity is just another average girl, but her life is a whole lot more complicated then it seems (expescially since she is a celiac!)
When her health teacher hands them each an empty excercise book, Clarity takes up the challenge to start a 'diary'. But not the stereotypical 'diary' blabbing about crushes and petty little fights with frenemies, more like what it's like to live with divorced parents and being a girl in a friendship group of mainly boys...
But when she experiences her first 'episode', everything changes. She starts hallucinating, seeing things that aren't truly there, smelling things that aren't existent and hearing voices in her head that make her do the wrong thing.
She becomes delusional, believing things that aren't true, thinking her family hates her and can't get a grip on reality.
She knows something is wrong with her, but her parents think she's just making it up to make their lives harder.
Clarity writes everything down, from her thought of confusion, and the way her hallucinations seem so real. She soon meets someone who could help her sooner, rather than later...
Please Note: This is the same Clarity as the Clarity in The Eight of Wind (See Chapter 23: Staircases and Clarity).
Beautiful cover designed and created by @leaving_forever who I reccomend!
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
