Parker Fadley is perfect. She has perfect grades, she's captain of the cheerleading squad, dating the most popular boy school and has a bright future ahead of her. Until it all goes wrong and Parker finds herself starring in a new role - that of the perfect mess.

I read this book in 1 sitting. It wasn't as compelling a read for me as Sadie but I was hooked and emotionally invested in finding out what had led to Parker's unraveling. I really enjoyed the way Courtney Summers wove in the back story, revealing a small bit at a time. Many might find Parker unlikable but I saw a girl trying desperately to push others away in an attempt to deal with something that was obviously traumatic and overwhelming. I felt bad for her and loved how Jake saw through the armor and caught glimpses of the girl underneath it all.

This one has strong themes - suicide, rape, underage drinking, depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I thought it was emotional and dark but the ending left me filled with hope. This was a strong debut and I'm glad it was rereleased. Courtney Summers is a must read author!
