When Nicole Castro, the most beautiful girl in her wealthy New Jersey high school, is splashed with acid on the left side of her perfect face, the whole world takes notice. But quiet loner Jay Nazarro does more than that--he decides to find out who did it. Jay understands how it feels to be treated ...
This is an example of a great premise and promising story, but I didn't find myself as deeply invested with the characters as I would like to be.
