Good Girls
Audrey Porter is a “good girl” a good student, a great daughter, an amazing friend. She’s also the last person anyone expects to be hanging out with Luke DeSalvio, the hottest guy at Audrey’s school. But Luke is a liar, a player, a dream, and Audrey knows it. She dumps him at her friend’s Halloween party with no intention of looking back. But everyone else is looking looking at a mysterious and humiliating photograph that has popped up on cell phones and computers. But who took it? And why? And how will she ever live it down?
Some people would say this is the story of a photograph. How it was taken, and what happened to me after the whole world saw it.
And it is.
But it’s also the story of a lot of other things. A boy so beautiful he’s like a punch to the throat. Best friends the outrageous old ones and the out-of-the-blue new. It’s about fishnets and eyebrow rings and a chick named Hamlet. Kick lines at lumber yards and conga lines at prom. Crying in cars and gazing at stars. Mistakes, misunderstandings and misconceptions. Good girls, bad boys, and everyone in between.
This is a story about love. Love for your family. Love for your friends. Love for yourself.
So, look at the picture all you want.
I am so much more than what you see.
