Trixie Stone is the freshman girl that all other girls, even the upperclassman, envy. She’s dating the hottest junior in the
school, she’s pretty, smart, and gets along with just about everybody. She has a seemingly perfect life.
But that only lasts until she goes to a party that gets way out of hand.
Her ex-boyfriend, who she wants back so badly, inflicts a horrible case of violence upon her.
And now everyone would kill to be nothing like her.
Trixie is one of the few characters that you can actually fall in love with throughout the course of the book. She is
everything a teen girl wants to be, but then the reader has to have compassion for her because of what she goes through,
and then you really do have to feel bad for her.
This is a book that everyone should read, simply for the wide range of issues that it covers. A great read.
