Excerpt-

Emma's fake, contact enhanced, green eyes turned into slits as she slithered closer to me. Despite the difference in size and strength, with me being the stronger one, I still shrunk away from Emma. Unfortunately she noticed and her smirk widened into a grin. "Look at what we have here, ladies. Chastity is actually afraid of us."

       "Afraid?" Nickole said. Her curly blond hair bounced as she talked. "No I don't think she's afraid. I just think she's jealous. I mean who wouldn't be jealous of us? We don't have to shop in the fat ladies stores." A lump formed in my throat. "And we don't have to worry about our friends, guy friends none the less, being thinner than us. If I were her I would be jealous."

       "If I were her-" Gabby added. Her Latin skin was even darker despite the fact that it was November and winter hit full force. The sun hadn't been out in weeks. "If I were her I would just want to kill myself...really." The girls laughed as they stared at me. "Go ahead Chastity, kill yourself. You know you've thought about it and I promise, no one will miss you."

       "Leave her alone," Kevin said, taking a step in front of me. He was doing his best to try to shield me from them. "At least she's real unlike the four of you."

            "Yeah real fat you mean," Emma said. There was a pause. "So tell me something, Chastity. Did your parents name you Chastity because they knew that you would never have a guy desperate enough to sleep with you?"

“The characters are all developed very well, and I believe most readers can associate with one more of them, or any of the experiences that they go through. I loved the love story, and craved more. Can't wait to read the sequel!” Suzanne - Goodreads

“Wolff’s novel transported me back to the confusing days of high school. It reminded me of my first boyfriend, my first kiss and my first love.
