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