To relieve the bullies of their stale content, Jess vows to dazzle them with online posts about her own ridiculous fails and embarrassing character traits. But somehow, all of Jess's posts circle back to her friendship with Chloe -- the friendship her alleged sluttiness pulverized -- and the gaping hole she left in Jess's life. As Jess chases Chloe's forgiveness, she must confront some of her darkest weaknesses -- and darker still, the truth of what happened with Chloe's boyfriend, a story neither of them wants to hear.
