Kimberly Ross’s world is shattered in eighth grade when Dave, the most popular boy in school, humiliates her in front of everyone. The whispers and judgmental glances that follow only deepen her pain, but just as she begins to move on, Toby, the class clown, publicly mocks her for being a late bloomer. Insecurity takes root, and Kimberly becomes obsessed with changing her body, desperate for validation in a world that seems to find her lacking. By freshman year, everything changes. Kimberly blossoms, catching the attention of both Dave and his best friend, Jace. Determined not to let history repeat itself, she chooses Jace over Dave only to discover that Jace’s affection was born from a cruel bet. Yet, as she struggles with heartbreak, Jace falls for her for real, just as he’s whisked away to boarding school without warning.

When an older senior, Ethan, shows interest, Kimberly dares to believe she might finally find stability—until Dave returns, pulling her back into his orbit. With graduation approaching, Kimberly is caught in an emotional whirlwind of love, betrayal, and self-doubt. But when she uncovers the final, devastating truth about Dave, she faces a choice that could define her future. Will she finally break free from the cycle, or is she doomed to repeat the mistakes of her past?
