Evelyn is a senior in high school who seems to have it all together but secretly struggles with the desire to fit in and be loved. When she finally gets a chance to be with her school crush AJ, she learns that love is more than just a four letter word. As the story progresses readers will be educated on the reality of dating violence with Thought-provoking questions, A Relationship Quiz, Safety Planning Guide, and Dating Bill of Rights.
