Sorry this is the largest image I could come by!

Amazon.com Product Description

“Ruby, where is your mother?”

Ruby knows that the game is up. For the past few months, she’s been on her own in the yellow house, managing somehow, knowing that her mother will probably never return.

That’s how she comes to live with Cora, the sister she hasn’t seen in ten years, and Cora’s husband Jamie, whose down-to-earth demeanor makes it hard for Ruby to believe he founded the most popular networking Web site around. A luxurious house, fancy private school, a new wardrobe, the promise of college and a future—it’s a dream come true. So why is Ruby such a reluctant Cinderella, wary and defensive? And why is Nate, the genial boy next door with some secrets of his own, unable to accept the help that Ruby is just learning to give?

Best-selling author Sarah Dessen explores the heart of a gutsy, complex girl dealing with unforeseen circumstances and learning to trust again.

I was never exactly fond of the hardcover so I was rather excited to see this paperback cover, via amazon! It's in the same style as the inside of the hardcover but it's more exciting! It resembles her other covers better I think.

  4. I agree about the paperback! Much more similar to her other novels. The hardcover is nice under the dust jacket though! :P

  5. Paperback! The pink hardcover kind of takes aways from the seriousness of the story.

  16. I think no matter what, both covers are in the right spirit! And under the dust jacket, like Amee says the images are very similar styles!

    Thanks for playing along everyone!

  17. Hardcover, I guess. Paperback's merely okay. Not too fond of the pink, tho I like the under-the-book-jacket thing.
