She has a bad temper, a little crazy and she no longer trusts anyone, sometimes not even herself. She's selfish and only cares about herself. Kimberly has always worried about herself and herself alone but you would too if you had her life. Love has never even crossed her mind; meaningless hookups? Yes, she's had lots of that but through the nightmare of Dawn and Tina's, Kimberly listens to Anna's words of finding her happy place and she is surprised when it's Damian's face she sees. Damian West is your typical bad boy, but there's a twist because he's a total rich kid. Hookups with different girls every night and drinking his time away is nothing new to Damian. But when it's first day of speech class he meets Kimberly and her growl, he's amused. Even with the fact that Kimberly sometimes looks like a homeless person Damian can't seem to stop himself from feeling drawn to her. Love isn't in Damian's playing cards. If anything he's broken hearted, torn between what his heart is used to, and what it wants now. When he drinks his ex-girlfriend and love of his life Rachel, come to mind. But when he's drinking one night it's Kimberley he's thinking about. In a deep, real life filled novel, you find out that life, love, heartbreak, tears and strength can mold a person into who they will become.
