Book Talk:
Falling in love is never easy. For Skim, falling in love is harder than it should be. She and her drama teacher, Mrs. Archer, find themselves in a forbidden romance.
When one of the boys at school kills himself, Skim finds herself slipping into a deep depression. When Mrs. Archer ends their relationship, her depression deepens.
When the popular girls at school begin a "Celebrate Life" club to keep any more teens from committing suicide, they take Skim on as a special project. They see her and her gothic ways as a potential for suicide.
Just as things seem to be at their lowest point, Skim finds an unlikely friend and ally amongst the popular crowd of kids.
