Overview

Lara just got told off on Facebook. She thought that Christian liked her; that he was finally going to ask her to his school's homecoming dance. They've been talking online for weeks, so what's with the sudden change? And where does he get off saying horrible things on her wall? Even worse - are they true? It's been a long time since Lara's felt this bad, this depressed, this ugly. She's worked really hard to become pretty and happy - and make new friends after what happened in middle school. Bree used to be best friends with overweight, depressed Lara, but constantly listening to Lara's issues got to be too much. Secretly, Bree's glad that Christian called Lara out. Lara's not nearly as amazing as people think. But no one realised just how far Christian's harsh comments would push Lara. Not even Bree. As online life collides with real life, things spiral out of control and not just for Lara. Because when the truth starts to come together, the backlash is even more devastating than any? one could have ever imagined.
