High school is supposed to be about figuring things out, right? But for Ava, Lana, Jade, and Sienna, it's nothing like they imagined.
Avawears her smudgedeyeliner-like armor, hiding behind the facade that everything’s fine. But the truth is, she’s barely holding on. Bullied for not fitting in, too much, and never enough at the same time, Anorexiais her secret, but so are the whispers, the stares, and the lies she tells herself to get through each day.
Lanais the girl everyone thinks has it all: parties, friends, confidence. But when the fun ends and she’s alone in her room, she’s just as empty as the bottles were left behind. She’s afraid of being seen for who she really is, and maybe that’s why she keeps pretending she’s someone else. The more she parties, the more she feels like she’s losing herself in the noise.
Jadehas always kept to the background, trying not to get noticed. It’s easier that way. But the truth is, she’s terrified of everything of being seen, of being heard, of being exposed. At home, she’s drowning in the pressure, constantly walking on eggshells. She holds everyone’s secretsbut doesn’t know how much longer she can keep her own buried.
Siennais perfect, at least that’s what everyone thinks. Perfect grades, perfect friends, perfect life. But in reality, she’s a mess. Her need for perfection is slowly eating her alive, and the pressure to maintain her flawless image is becoming too much to bear. She’s terrified of failing, but what if she’s already lost herself trying to keep up with the impossible standards she’s set?
