Annabel Greene is the girl who has everything. At least, that's what
she portrays in her modeling shoots. But Annabel's life is far from
perfect. Her friendship with Sophie ended bitterly, and her older
sister's eating disorder is weighing down the entire family. Isolated
and ostracized at school and at home, Annabel retreats into silent
acceptance. Then she meets Owen--intense, music-obsessed, and
determined to always tell the truth. And with his guidance, Annabel
learns to just listen to herself and gains the courage to speak honestly.
But will she be able to tell everyone what really happened the night she and
Sophie stopped being friends.
