"Mona Starr is a highly sensitive person. She's sweet, geeky, and creative, but sometimes, the world just gets to be too much and it's hard for her to feel comfortable in her own skin. For a while, she had a rhythm going: She'd go to therapy, doodle, hang out with her best friend and fellow weirdo Nash, and play her violin. But when Nash moves away, Mona feels alone and doesn't know how to combat that little voice in her head that tells her she's not good enough. So she gives a name to that negative voice: her Matter. Through therapy, art, and writing to catalog her emotions, Mona begins to understand what triggers her Matter-and how she can turn her fears into strengths."--
