Esme isn't happy with herself, until a new friend comes along and shakes things up - Esme becomes who she thinks she wants to be, who her friend wants. Then her friend leaves, and things aren't great - sure, she gets to work in the milk bar that she loves, but her parents love her older sister more, and why wouldn't they, with how perfect she is. Esme will never be enough... Content Warning: Self-harm; Anorexia - for older readers in the 6-9 category.
