This book is about a girl named Elise who doesn't have any friends. She has never been the popular girl, and never had any friends. She was always ignored, or picked on. So during the summer transitioning from freshman to sophomore in high school, she decided she had about enough of it. She spent the whole summer reading magazines, blogs, and looking at what was popular. Fashion, the way you act, the music you listen to, your makeup, physical appearance could all be changed. But Elise noticed that no matter how much she changed herself, she can't change her personality. She'll always go back, always be the girl who has no friends... So she gives up. When a bad day happened, and nothing is working, she decides to commit suicide. It doesn't go as planned, but she managed to cut herself. The book fast forwards months after this, and her parents know about the incident. She tries to put her mind at ease by taking a midnight run. She discovers an under ground party called Start, with dancing, sweating people. Elise talks to some people and she notices that it gives her a different vibe. So she keeps going back to forget her troubles, and eventually becomes a DJ. She goes to Start every Thursday to make the attacks at school disappear.
Elise is a kind, misunderstood girl. She is nice to everyone; even the girl's who put her down at school. I don't understand why she wouldn't be able to make any friends. She loves her family to death. Her half brother and sister, her mother, her father, and her stepfather. She is loving to the new friends she makes at Start. Overall, I think she would be a great friend if I could be friends with her. She seems funny, too. Like an average girl, and not what everyone wants her to be. Elise is the opposite of what is expected; what is wanted. It's really cool to read a book with the main character finding another out lit to fill in the bad stuff for school.
