SYNOPSIS
(extended description)
Some people have problems being a wallflower. She has problems being the opposite.
For nineteen year old it girl Vanessa Davenport, love is a nonexistent concept. A failed suicide attempt, keeping up her elite façade at Winston Preparatory and the never ending struggle to be fine ─ that's Vanessa's life summed up.
That is, only until she stumbles upon an insane plot twist called Ian Eastwood, the new British boy in town with irresistible green eyes and a capability to make her smile like an idiot, even begrudgingly so.
Maybe it's time to learn how to feel again.
