Summary from Goodreads:
A freak accident left Starla Emerson with a deformed hand, low self-esteem, and a need to fade into the background. However, she finds it impossible to be invisible at her new high school where she is pushed front and center by a behind the scenes internet bully.
She joins forces with newfound friends to launch a counter attack in order to expose the cyber bully, aka grizzlygirl2015. Part of the plan involves the school’s bad boy Chase McFall. Star feels more for this golden eyed boy than she should as the plan progresses. The plan backfires and lands Star in a mountain of trouble.
Will she have the courage to be honest about her part in the plan and her true feelings for Chase? Or will she be left heartbroken? Once the truth is out…there’s no turning back.
{Excerpt}
Inside the stall, I heard giggles and saw three pairs of feet under
the door wearing designer boots. “She is so freaking weird.” I heard one of
them say.
“I know, right? I heard she kissed that gross Shane Baker with blue
lipstick on. I don’t care if it was a challenge, that’s nasty,” a second voice
said.
“Who’s that girl she’s been hanging out with?” asked the third voice.
I tensed.
“She’s a new girl,” the first voice said. “I hate to break the news to
you, Haley. I think Chase likes her. Have you seen the way he looks at her?” My
heart flip-flopped.
“Uh-uh. There’s no way,” Haley said. “Have you seen her hand? It’s
disgusting.”
Tears sprang into my eyes. I squeezed my eyes shut and pushed them
back. My heart thumped against my chest. My blood boiled, flowing hot and
angry. I was ticked! I flung the stall door open. Three startled faces gaped at
me. I stepped up to the sink and washed my hands, purposely shook the water off
of them so my right hand was visible, and made eye contact with lemon-head, who
I now knew was Haley.
The three girls watched me wide-eyed and silent. I strolled out of the
bathroom with my head held high.
