"No one cares unless you're pretty or dead, and lord help the girl who is both." 18 year old Elizabeth Greene has never had it easy; her parents divorced when she was 5, and her relationship with her father? Lukewarm at best. That all changes when she's sent back to live with him after making some... poor choices. Elizabeth is prepared to have the most boring summer ever, and has resigned herself to that fate... until she sees The Girl.
