Description
What if you woke up one morning looking perfect?
One night changes everything for Eden. Literally. She wakes up and her nose is a little smaller, her lips a little bigger, her hair just that much thicker. Emboldened by her newfound perfection, she thinks maybe she could choose something more than the safe, vanilla life she’s always had. Drawn to edgy poet Hawk and his colorful best friend Ivy, she tries to juggle them—and her new daring—with her old friends and their predictable lives. Of course, it proves more difficult than she imagines, and soon she’s grounded, kicked off the volleyball team, and fighting with the friends who know her best.
At least she still has Hawk… until Ivy outs a secret Eden thought was for her and Hawk alone. Retribution comes fast, and Ivy accuses Eden of ruining her life.
If Eden can’t clear her name and fess up to her part in it, she’ll burn everyone she cares about and lose herself in the process.
Maybe a perfect face is more trouble than its worth…
