    About this ebook

    I may be in trouble...but there's more to my story.

    All Jenny Vang wants to do is fit in. Not be popular. Not be cool. Just fit in. After changing schools more than once, she's an expert at it. The way to fit in at Monona High is to talk trash or make boasts on The Confessional, the school's unofficial gossip site. So of course Jenny joins in. But when Jenny lies about hooking up with a teacher, she's slammed with a two-month suspension.

    She's guilty. She's embarrassed. But is she also the victim of a double standard? Jenny learns her punishment is way harsher than normal. Now she'll have to own her mistake while standing up for herself too.
