Nerd. Weird. Ugly. That's me. And I don't want it to
be anymore.
Now is my time to make my mark on the world. My
college roommate doesn't make it easy. Neither does her brother, Jesse, but for
completely different reasons. He makes me feel things I've never felt before.
Wanted. Important. Beautiful.
But we can't be together because it isn't real.
Someone like him could never fall for someone like me. We aren't meant to fit
together.
Even if I fall apart without him.

EXCERPT:
“He’s so
nice.” Janna takes another cookie and hands one to me as well. “He’s so out of
my league, though. Hell, he’s out of most people’s leagues.”
Everyone is out of my league. Between my Pinnochio nose, planet-sized ass,
and the scars left behind from the great pimple outbreak of 2015, I’m far down
in the lineup for anyone to date. I accepted that a long time ago. After being
called a dog more times than I can count, I finally made the decision that
maybe everyone is right. I’m not pretty and never will be. The more and more
someone refers to you as something, the more likely you are to believe it.
“How is he
so nice and his sister is such a jerk?” I don’t think I’ve ever seen two people
so different from one another before. His first impression is the complete
opposite from Olivia’s.
Janna
begins walking so I step in line with her. “Who knows? They were both super
popular in school but for different reasons. Her reasons are more X-rated if
you catch my drift.”
Sex tape?
Pictures online? Favors in the bathroom? I want to know but I also don’t want
to gossip about Olivia. I don’t like when people say stuff about me so I don’t
want to do it to her. Besides, things like that tend to come back around. I
don’t want it to bite me in the ass.
“So this
Tyler guy, was he your boyfriend throughout high school?”
“Nah. We
dated senior year. That was it. I had one other boyfriend, Grant, freshman and
sophomore year. I took junior year off of guys, I guess. Who knows?” She
shrugs. “Sometimes I think about quitting guys all together.”
“Like
dating girls instead?”
“Maybe. Or
not dating at all. I’ll graduate, collect two dozen cats, and call it a life.”
She can’t
be serious. I would kill to look like her. Okay, maybe not kill, but I
could do some damage if needed. I doubt she has had any experience with being
called names, and she’s had two boyfriends to my zero. I picture her
strutting down her high school hallway sans book bag—she’s too cool for one.
Her books are snug against her hip as she works her way down the hall as
everyone glances her way. No. She can’t become a cat lady. If anyone
should surrender her life to cats it’s me, and even I won’t do that.
“What
about you? Do you have a special man in your life?”
Does my
dad count? Probably not what she means. I almost kissed Shawn Solender once in
sixth grade but that turned out to be a joke. Another time as a freshman I was
supposed to go to Homecoming with Chris Henderson. I sat on the front steps of
my house for three hours before I finally admitted to myself he wasn’t coming.
On Monday at school everyone made fun of me and pictures were posted all over
Instagram. Someone had stopped by and snapped as many shots of me crying as
they could. The hashtags were horrible, things such as #loser,
#whowoulddateher, #dogface, #dogbreath, #nobody. They got pretty negative,
pushed me down to a point I almost didn’t want to get back up, but I did. I
keep telling myself they are only words, no matter how much they hurt.
The change
begins with me, right? If I’m going to create a better life for myself, I have
to be confident. “No. There are a few guys who want to date me, but since I’m
here I want to play the field.” I’m sure she sees right through me, and if she
does, she doesn’t let on.
“Us
hotties have to stick together and stay single.”
Hotties?
She’s speaking of herself, not me. I appreciate the gesture, trying to include
me in a clique I will never be part of. I’ve been through it long enough. I
know the truth.
I’m the ugly girl in the
room. I always have been and always will be.

REVIEW:
Tracy really outdid herself with this story!
Violet is a girl that many can relate to. She is
smart and talented, but she also shows her
vulnerability when dealing with others who
don't see her for what she really is...absolutely
beautiful in every way.
This book takes on the subject of bullying
, and what it does to a person over time. It's a
harsh reality that many kids, as well as
adults, still suffer from on a daily basis.
As the story unfolds, you see how strong
Violet is when the world seems to be pushing
against her. You see her make friends and
come out of her shell a bit.
But you also witness the heartbreaking result
of harsh words and hateful actions. Your
emotions are on high while you fight beside
her and cheer her on while she struggles to
believe in herself.
You will love Jesse as he helps show Violet
how truly beautiful she really is-inside and
out. He's a wonderful guy with a heart of
gold, and he only has eyes for Violet.
But he isn't the hero of the story...Violet is.
She is amazing!
Her thoughts and her words of poetry speak
to many, but this story should be read by all.
This is not an ugly duckling story.
This is not an ugly duckling story.
This is a story about a phoenix rising from the
ashes.
This is a story of overcoming the worst and
being brave enough to stand on your own.
This is a story about a beautiful girl who
stared ugly in the face and came out the
winner.
About the Author:
Tracy's love of writing began at nine years old. She
