CHASING PERFECTION

Lily has always felt like she was too much—too big, too emotional, too different. At seventeen, she carries more than just her weight; she bears the crushing expectations of beauty, the sting of past heartbreaks, and the echo of every cruel whisper that called her less than enough.



After years of shrinking into herself, Lily begins college hoping for a fresh start. But self-worth isn't something that magically appears with new beginnings. As she navigates a world where everyone seems so effortlessly perfect, Lily battles her insecurities, relives painful memories, and struggles to find her place. Along the way, she meets Joe—charming, aloof, and everything she thought she wanted—but his hot-and-cold presence only deepens her doubts.



Through heartbreak, healing, and unexpected friendships, Lily begins to discover the power of her voice—through sketching, through singing, and most importantly, through choosing herself. From campus festivals to raw conversations with her family, each moment chips away at the lies she’s believed for so long.



Chasing Perfection is a heart-wrenching yet empowering journey of a girl learning to love herself not in spite of her body, but because of it. It’s about joy, art, music, and the messy, beautiful process of becoming. Lily doesn’t want to be perfect anymore. She just wants to be real—and that changes everything.
