Kayla Peterson était une rat de bibliothèque discrète et rondelette que personne ne remarquait, sauf pour rire. Timide, brillante et cachée derrière d'épaisses lunettes, elle passa ses années lycée invisible aux yeux de la foule scintillante des adolescents de l'élite française. Jusqu'à la nuit qui changea tout. Une invitation anonyme à la fête d'anniversaire de Jason Lawson lui semblait un rêve. Jason, grand, musclé et dangereusement beau, était le tombeur du lycée et le béguin de longue date de Kayla. Mais la nuit tourna au cauchemar. Attirée dans sa chambre, elle crut au destin. Il la prit pour une surprise consentante. Ses amis crurent à une blague. Et le lendemain matin, la « nerd » était la commère la plus brûlante, moquée comme la pire histoire de l'histoire par le garçon même qu'elle avait secrètement aimé. Humiliée et brisée, Kayla partit pour la Floride, jurant de ne plus jamais être la même.
