Isabelle Carson didn't account for a hot, new guy who almost runs her over, a messed up class schedule, and a boyfriend who dumps her for one of her best friends. All of that pales to the threat of her dirty family secrets breaking free from the perfect façade she’s diligently maintained. 
Grayson Alexander is on his fourth school in as many years. Lakewood Valley High is exactly like all the others, with one shiny exception: Isabelle Carson. She’s smart, funny, and beautiful. But Isabelle is hiding something, and Grayson is determined to win her trust.
As Isabelle’s life spirals out of control and her picture-perfect image begins to shatter, Grayson does what no one else can: he makes her laugh and allows her to be imperfect. But Grayson has been damaged by his own family secrets, and Isabelle will have to decide if the boy she’s falling for more and more each day is a right or a wrong.

Perfectly ImperfecT

Closing my eyes against the utter pain I hear in her tone, I take a deep breath. "I'm not punishing you." At least, I'm not trying to. Maybe I am. Part of me wants her to hurt as much as I do, but at the same time, I can't stand to know she's hurting - and I'm the one hurting her. "Why didn't you stop him?" 


"No." I straighten and look at her. "Why didn't you stop him before he kissed you? Did you want him to?"


She shakes her head, her eyes wide with disbelief. "I didn't want him to kiss me. It all happened so fast. I didn't have time to react, but as soon as the shock wore off, I pushed him away." 


I nod. Her story hasn't changed at all, which I guess is a good thing. 


"I'm sorry," she says through more tears. 


I gently wipe her tears with my thumbs. I have no doubt she's sorry. "I need to knowif I hadn't seen it, would you have told me?"


Belle hangs her head, and that's all the answer I need.
