Skin Deep by Laura Jarratt

Skin Deep UK coverUgly people don't have feelings. They're not like everyone else. They don't notice if you stare at them and turn away. And if they did notice, it wouldn't hurt them. They're not like real people.
Or that's what I used to think.
When I was younger.
Before I learned.


Jenna was just a normal 14-year-old teenager - having fun and hanging out with friends, until the car crash. Now her face is scarred, consequently making her feel ugly and hard to face to face the world outside. Because of this she is quite paranoid, believing that everyone is gossiping about her behind her back. 

Ryan is a traveller, living with his bi-polar mother on a boat. He is also greeted with lots of stares wherever he goes but (although he wishes to live "normally") he deals with the attention much better than Jenna, and seems quite self-confident and cocky.

When Jenna and Ryan meet, they grow very close. But then someone remembers the car crash, and what it did to the people inside the car. Someone wants revenge...
