"From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless, outcast, because she busted an end of summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. As time passes, she becomes increasingly isolated and practically stops talking altogether. Only her art class offers any solace, and it is through her work on an art project that she is finally able to face what really happened at that terrible party..."

Book Club's First Book of the School Year is....
Blurb Back Cover:
"Sarah has always struggled to fit in. Born in South Korea and adopted at birth by a white couple, she grows up in a rural farming community with very few Asian neighbors. People whisper and stare in the supermarket. Classmates ostracize and bully her. Sarah has trouble containing her anger in these moments, but through it all, she has her art. She's always been a compulsive drawer, and when she discovers anime, her hobby becomes an obsession. Though drawing and cosplay offer her an escape, she still struggles to connect with others. And in high school, the bullies are louder and meaner. Her bubbling rage is threatening to burst. To overcome her anger and pain, Sarah will have to contend with the most monstrous thing of all: her own insecurities."
