Bookroo's summary
Rachel, a fashion-savvy teen, is used to being the center of attention in her sleepy town. But when the enigmatic Lily arrives, Rachel's intrigued by her odd behavior and tragic style. Determined to transform Lily's look, Rachel discovers there's more to Lily than meets the eye. Why does Lily avoid her family, and what secrets lie behind her zombie-like demeanor? As Rachel delves deeper, she must uncover the truth about Lily's mysterious past. Can Rachel help Lily, or will she uncover something she never expected?
From the publisher
With Rachel’s flair for fashion, it’s easy to stand out—especially in a town as dead as hers! But when a new girl shows up at school looking tall and pale and totally tragic, suddenly Rachel’s not the only one turning heads!
Rachel has a plan to take Lily’s style from rags to runway-ready, but she can’t help noticing Lily’s a little, well, odd. She won’t let Rachel near her family and spaces out so much she could pass for a zombie.
Could there be more to Lily’s problems than terrible fashion sense?
