Carley Mattea thinks that boys only like girls who are pretty - especially boys  as popular and handsome as Kyle Westin.  Scarred by a facial deformity, she believes that Kyle would never have fallen for her if it hadn't been for the chemistry accident that left him temporarily blind.  When Kyle discovers that his sight will soon be restored, Carley can't help but worry about his reaction when he sees her face for the first time.  Will Kyle's feelings prove to be more than skin-deep?
