Synopsis

Paige Sheridan had it all: looks, popularity, and an adoring boyfriend. But when a night of partying ended in an it-could-have-been-so-much-worse crash, everything changed. Now Paige’s best friends treat her like an outsider, and even her once-adoring boyfriend seems cold and distant. The only bright spot is her creative writing class, led by a charismatic new teacher, Mr. Tremont. But when Paige’s old mistakes threaten to destroy even this, she must choose between living the privileged life of a princess or owning up to her mistakes and giving up everything she once held dear.
