Celestina North is ideal in everything: an exemplary daughter and sister, a favorite of teachers and classmates, the girlfriend of the irresistible Art Crevan. But one day Celestina finds herself in an unexpected situation and, following the dictates of her heart, breaks the law. Punishment is inevitable: either prison or the Brand. That is, forever rejected. The brilliant Cecilia Ahern painted a world in which the ideal is valued above all else and the slightest deviation from it is punishable. What happens when a young girl risks everything she holds dear and decides to stand up to the system? The debut young adult novel from the international bestselling author is a surprisingly authentic and emotional story whose characters will capture the hearts of readers of all ages. The rights to the film adaptation of the book were acquired by Warner Bros.
