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?
