Parker Fadley has torn apart everything that made her look perfect. She walked away from cheerleading, broke up with her boyfriend, and started failing classes. Her parents watch her constantly, afraid she might hurt herself. Her counselors think she's acting out for attention. Parker knows the truth about why her life fell apart, and she knows it might be her fault. Regina Afton used to rule Hallowell High as part of the Fearsome Fivesome. Students feared her and wanted to be her. Then someone spread rumors about Regina and her best friend's boyfriend. Now Regina faces the brutal reality of losing everything she built.
