A note from Jade Leightonâs journal Years ago, a tragic accident robbed me of my mother and emotions. Because I find beauty in darkness and thrive outside social norms, Iâve been labeled a âfreakâ at school. I know my continued apathy hurts my loved ones, but Iâm not about to change. Nothing will ever hurt me again. Then I wake up in an alternate realityâŚand everything else has changed. Goth is in. Iâm considered cool, and my archenemyâthe formerly popular Mercedesâis the freak. But my real friends wonât talk to me...and the new boy is getting under my skin. As my world spins out of control, Iâm desperate to return to normal. But the more time that passes, the less Iâm sure what ânormalâ really is.
