this was such a sad book. I had tons of tears pouring down my face at my gym. lol not a perfect place to be reading a sad book.i got this book free off of amazon, but wanted to read it for a while.this book is about a girl named perry. she is attending college and her subject is medical which was chosen for her by her family. She just wants to make them happy for they are actually nice to her. Perry's mother is nothing nice. she is always telling her how fat she is, or how better all the other kids on the street are from her. If she cry's her mother will tell her how weak she is and continue to belittle her.while in college she promised herself that she is going to change the old perry and start a new. She started to make some friends and even took up a radio dj job on campus. She has her eyes on this boy named Jared. he is nice to her one minute and the next he is throwing off horrible signals. She continues to be nice to him and his roommate. when deep down all she wants to do is date the man.when school breaks happen she has to go back home where her parents tell her daily if she is not making straight A's and B's that they are going to pull her from college and send her to a junior college. They tell her that if she gets bad grades its because she is partying to much and not spending time studying. When the family opens up christmas presents her mom buys her all new clothes. perry needed clothes so she was excited. until she tried them on. there were 2 sizes too small. when she finally confronted her mom she said that she is fat and it will give her something to look forward to.now here comes the problem she is dealing with. Perry starts cutting herself. She believes that the pain that she feels makes the other pain go away. she try's to cut herself were it looks like she feel or even bumped into things. Lately she is slipping. When Jared notices a change in her, he spends more time with her. will this stop Perry or will everyone find out her dirty little secret?
