Description
"For the first sixteen years of my life, I'd always imagined myself a princess. Then in the eleventh grade, Derrick Cooley called me a hag and I realized I wasn't a princess after all. It's amazing how quickly someone can ruin everything you've ever known with the utterance of one word. Even now, ten years later, I cringe whenever I hear it and am immediately brought back to that rainy afternoon when my love for myself first diminished." Valerie Peterson had always tried to stay optimistic about herself. Sure, she'd never been the prettiest or the smartest girl in school, but she'd certainly never been the ugliest or the dumbest one either. So why had the words of Derrick Cooley hit her so hard anyways? She and Derrick hadn't dated, and neither of them wanted to. Yet now at the ripe old age of twenty-six, Valerie finds herself running into Derrick more and more and her concern for his admittedly low opinion of her forces Valerie to look at Derrick in a new light. To make matters worse, Valerie finds herself on the receiving end of attractions made on her by her devastatingly handsome billionaire boss, Apollo Larsen. As she navigates her changing life, Valerie Peterson must decide between chasing tomorrow, and Chasing Yesterday.
