This semi-autobiographical follow-up picks up where her debut "Escape from "Special"" leaves off: nonconformist Melissa is now in high school, coping with an anxiety-induced drug habit and an anorexic best friend. Even when the situation is not life or death, Melissa must negotiate the everyday problems that young adults face.
