Everyone at Brookhaven High knows Celeste Ashford. Beautiful, wealthy, athletic, and one of the most popular girls in school, she seems to have the perfect life. Teachers admire her, students want to be around her, and boys constantly compete for her attention. If there's one thing she's known for besides her popularity, it's bullying Guest. Hardly a day passes without an insult, sarcastic remark, rumor, or public embarrassment. Most people assume she's simply cruel. They don't know the rest. Her parents are almost never home, replacing affection with money. Her grades are slipping, her friendships are falling apart, and despite all the attention she gets, she's never had a boyfriend or even her first kiss. As her carefully built life begins to crack, taking out her frustration on Guest becomes the unhealthy habit she can't seem to stop.
