The D.B. List

Seventeen-year-old Ellie Gebhardt has spent the last three years of high school in psychotherapy, trying to fix a very broken her. And her shrink (or therapist as she likes to be called) seems to think that in order to totally heal, she needs to recognize all the good and bad things that have led her to this point. As if a trip down memory lane will suddenly make her better.

She's given a "homework" assignment to create two lists. One with nothing but happy memories and thoughts on it (otherwise known as the 'happy rainbow farting unicorns list'). And the other with everything negative that Ellie thinks contributed to "the" day she could no longer cope.

So begins Ellie's Douche Bag list (or D.B. List for short). And once she gets started, it's hard to stop remembering all the jerks, the petty crap, the times she'd been bullied or the main focus of the rumor mill.

So when nice guy, Ky Laramie, walks into her life, Ellie instantly puts her shields up. But as she gets to know him and his family, she wonders if she can dare to put herself out there again. Because as everyone knows, once a candle is lit, the wind can always blow it out. And Ellie couldn't handle it if Ky ends up atop of the D.B. List.
