Her older sister's attempted, and failed, suicide set Charlotte Portland's family reeling. So much, in fact, that they've moved back to her mother's hometown where Charlie has to be the new girl in a school full of best friends. Dividing her time between her dad's bookstore and avoiding her family's problems, Charlie tries to come to terms with the new Elizabeth, the one who no one knows, rather than the old Elizabeth, who got straight-A's, was popular, and was supposed to be, over-all, the more responsible of the Portland girls. Her parents want to believe that everything is Fine, and it is in the pits of Not Fine At All that Charlie finally reconciles with the fact that beautiful isn't a characteristic, but an interpretation.
