WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT OURSELVES CAN MAKE OR BREAK US Two sixteen-year-old girls. Formerly best friends. Laura longs to be loved, the problem is, she doesn't believe she's worthy of it. Her attempts to find Mr Right have only led to a bad girl reputation and a person she no longer recognises as herself. After a devastating incident at a summer party Laura is forced to re-evaluate her life. Jess is gorgeous and smart with a good girl reputation, but all is not perfect in Jess's world. The death of her baby brother leads to her mum's breakdown, and as Jess struggles to come to terms with her new reality she develops obsessive compulsive disorder. Through the hurt, betrayal, loss and heartbreak, Laura and Jess's lives become entangled again, in a story that's real and compelling. There's one thing that both Jess and Laura will come to understand: no matter what has happened in their pasts, it doesn't have to define their future.
