Ever since the great fall of Becky Worthington - when the biggest bully of them all, hell-bent on harassing Patrice to the end of her teenage days, was transformed into someone altogether ignorable - Patrice's school life is almost normal. Well, if you can call having your own freak fan base and band of loyal misfit followers "normal". But there's a new bully in school. Patrice is the only one who can do something about it. The problem is, Patrice doesn't care. She's not the one being picked on; it's not her problem this time.

Not at all. Patrice is a nerd. Patrice has an instant arch enemy. Her name is Becky Worthington, and she's not only the prettiest girl in school with a way of getting everything she wants or could ever hope for, she's also the most relentless bully who ever existed.

After learning the shattering truth that the only parents she’d ever known have no ounce of blood relation to her, 16-year-old Sully is forced to face many painful questions.
