"Noelle Lee can't afford any distractions. She's dedicated to keeping her grades up and practicing the cello so she can get into her dream conservatory. But she can't stay focused if her ex-boyfriend, beasties, and budding feelings for her friend Tobyn keep getting in the way. Just when her life seems complicated enough, her dad loses his job and the much-- needed income that goes with it. Noelle has always been a little mean, but with all the added stress, even she knows her attitude is becoming too much to handle." -- Back cover.
