O knihe

Tenacious 16-year-old Eva Rosen finds she's fading fast amid relentless bullying-not in the school yard-but at home from her two older narcissistic sisters, Janice and Marge. Janice is constantly dieting, counting calories and going to swim practice without eating. Marge's weight is ballooning daily and she's either numbing out with food, messing around with another girl's boyfriend or planning how to best torment Eva. Studious and athletic, Eva's bewildered by her sisters' behavior and why she's the target of their unpredictable attacks. At a late summer party, hope arrives in strappy black sandals. Eva bonds with popular Darcy Gold during a superficial conversation about the shoes they're both wearing, sparking a life-saving friendship. While spending time at Darcy's house, Eva meets her compassionate mother Diana, who explains the red flags of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, clearing the fog of confusion from her mind. As Eva begins to heal, she also starts to shine, finding love with handsome Julian Wells in her AP English class and getting accepted to her dream college in Santa Barbara. After college graduation, Eva travels to San Francisco for a coveted job interview at a cutting-edge investment firm. Marge calls after years of estrangement, asking to meet in the Financial District to make amends. During her trip, Julian leaves a message, saying he really needs to talk to her. Do people change with time? Can true love be reignited? During a few fleeting days, Eva must reckon with the truth about her family and reevaluate how she defines love and belonging.
