Dayle has just changed from being a bookwormish nerd to one of the "in" crowd. She's going out with the most popular guy in school, Kevin. She's starting to spend more time with him and ignoring her best friend. On her birthday, instead of going to a concert with her best friend, she goes with kevin and his friends to the moshpit. After drinking and partying, they try to light a campfire, but the ground is wet. Suddenly, there is a big explosion, and Dayle is caught in the middle of it.

Dayle is taken to the hospital, but she survives. About half her body is covered in serious burns, but she deals with it. But what she doesn't realize for a while is that another one of Kevin's friends also got hurt. But he was more seriously hurt than Dayle.

The book talks about what it's like for a person to survive such serious burns and how she lives her life afterward. It talks accepting what happened and moving on. It talks about how, no matter what the situation, friends will never abandon you. This was a really touching book. It was really sad, but inspiring. It had a sad twist, but it was kind of predictable. I think that everyone should read this book. I really liked it a lot.
