When Suzi falls in love with her best friend Leigh, they are tormented both at home and at school. It seems as if their whole life shattered. In the midst of all the harassment, Suzi tries to keep sane, but peer pressure is the hardest for just a seventh grader to handle on her own. While Suzi is having her problems with peer pressure, Leigh is sucked into another downside of teenage life: the world of fashion. The popular girls insist that they give Leigh a makeover so that she can attract someone better. Leigh hesitantly agrees, and so the girls practically pounce on her with all those makeup and hair supplies. When the girls are finished, Suzi is astonished. She no longer recognizes her best friend and accuses her of betraying their friendship. Leigh explains, and Suzi forgives her. Leigh loses the friendship of the popular girls, but she knows it is worth it to keep Suzi. Weeks later is the setting of the story. They are still bullied, but together they try to withstand it. They are still in love, and proud of it. Well, that's what it seems like. Suzi is seriously considering the words of her parents and siblings but on the inside, she still likes Leigh. Everything going on in Suzi's life is pushing her towards the edge, and for her, suicide is an option. It is up to Leigh to keep Suzi's sanity afloat without her own sanity sinking itself. Can Suzi and Leigh both keep full mental sanity?
