Marina was a girly girl, the reason why I say was, is because she changed. All because of a stupid dare that happened in middle school. A guy was dared to date her, and she agreed, with it being her first boyfriend. Worst part? She fell in love with him. Where's Marina now? She's a feisty girl with no intention of being nice anymore. She blames society for her appearance and hates the world all because of Jared Windsor, her 'ex' But everything seems to change when Asher Daniels is assigned to be her Orchestra mentor in year 12. This isn't a dumb bubble gum, happy go lucky book about how they ride off into the sunset with a new pair of converse. This is the truth of our very adolescence. And we need to learn to accept it before we get our hearts broken more times than necessary.
