My Own Worst Enemy Book

When Eve is forced to start at a new school in the middle of eighth grade, she takes it as an opportunity to please her parents by blending in with the popular crowd. Having always been an outcast, she is surprised by how easy it is to appear normal.¹ But there is a price to pay for pretending to be something she is not. Finally, she can no longer keep her real feelings bottled up, and she goes back to being herself. Not only is she happier this way, but others like her true self better.
