WHEN THE UGLY DUCKLING BLOSSOMED

Amelia Collins was the girl nobody wanted to be seen with.

At Westwood High, popularity is everything, and Amelia has none of it.

She is the girl everyone laughs at, the girl nobody chooses for a school project, and the girl boys pretend not to notice. Her school life is made even worse by Jessica Montgomery, the school's beautiful and untouchable queen bee, who makes humiliating Amelia her favourite hobby.

But Jessica has another reason to hate her.

Ryan Mitchell.

Handsome, wealthy and the most popular boy in school, Ryan has a secret he has never dared to reveal: he likes Amelia. He sees something in her that everyone else refuses to see. But being honest about his feelings could cost him his popularity, and he's not brave enough to risk it.

While Amelia struggles to survive another day at school, Jessica makes sure she never forgets where she stands.

Until Amelia decides she's had enough.

Determined to stop letting other people's opinions control her life, Amelia begins a journey of self-discovery. And when the school's biggest gala arrives, the girl everyone thought they knew walks into the room with a confidence nobody expected.

Suddenly, everyone wants to know her name.

The boys who ignored her are paying attention. The girls who laughed at her are whispering. And Jessica Montgomery is furious.

But what happens when the boy who secretly loved Amelia finally wants to be with her openly?

Will Amelia forgive the boy who was too afraid to stand beside her when she needed him most?

Or will Jessica make sure their story never gets a happy ending?

Sometimes, the girl everyone overlooks becomes the one nobody can ignore.
