About the book
She wants it all. But he wants more. The cheerleader. The beautiful, popular girl who sparkles with energy and excitement. The girl everyone looks at with envy. The girl Althea longs to be. Althea is nobody. Invisible. She gets no phone calls, shares no laughter, has no friends. Until she meets him. "Suppose," he says with an evil smile, "that I can make you popular." All Althea has to do is agree to a simple bargain. An evil bargain. And she becomes a cheerleader. But Althea wants more. And she'll do whatever she has to do to get it.
