+ Want to read

When Eve's family moves and she is forced to start at a new school in the middle of eighth grade, she takes the opportunity to please her parents by blending in with the popular crowd. Eve is the first to admit she's not the easiest person to have around, but she's decided she's going to appear "normal" and pass for nice. But there is a price to pay for pretending to be something she's not.
