"Ugly people don't have feelings. They're not like everyone else. They don't notice if you stare at them and turn away. And if they did notice, it wouldn't hurt them. They're not like real people. Or that's what I used to think." - Jenna
Jenna had a crash, the same car accident where her best friend died. Now, Jenna is permanently scarred.
However hard she tries she can't return to piece together the puzzle of her life.
One day Jenna meets Ryan, a traveller boy. He doesn't have father, only mother. They (Ryan and his mom) moor their boat on the outskirts of a village, the same village where Jenna lives.
This story is about a friendship/love relationship between Jenna and Ryan. They grow closer and closer, he was the only person who could approach her in awhile.
Jenna - “Dad's going to go mental though.”
Ryan - Suppose I'll be skewered with the garden fork when he finds out.”
“Probably. Might deflate your ego so it could be a good thing.”
“You're supposed to say, 'No, I'll protect you' and stuff like that.”
I liked everything in this book. There is nothing that I disliked about it, I just fell permanently in love with this story.
I truly loved their relationship. Ryan would stand for Jenna no matter what (this is love).
Even though the characters are really young, because she is 14 and he is 16, they've been through a lot in their lives and that's why I think that we all should read this kind of stories. This is an "open eyes" for a lot of people because everyone is beautiful... You are beautiful, even if you have a big scar in your face, in your body or in your neck
