So, picture this: Seventeen-year-old Abby Ives, a fashion-obsessed and fabulously gay individual, has always been okay with being the sidekick in other people's lives. While her friends and sister are out there diving headfirst into the world of dating and romance, Abby's perfectly content running her plus-size style blog and dreaming about conquering the fashion industry.
But, hold up, things take a major turn when Abby lands the internship of her dreams at her favorite boutique. You can imagine the sheer thrill pulsating through her as she takes that first step towards her dream career. Life couldn't get any better, right? Wrong.
Because, my friend, Abby goes and falls hard for her fellow intern, Jordi Perez. She's head over heels, smitten, and totally catches feelings for this gal. But here's the kicker: Abby is now in direct competition with the girl she's locking lips with for that coveted paid job at the end of the internship. Talk about a serious pickle.
Now, let me level with you. This summer, absolutely nothing is going according to plan for Abby. In a twist of fate, she somehow befriends Jax, your typical lacrosse-playing, bro-type dude. And guess what? This guy wants her help in finding the absolute best burger in the sprawling city of Los Angeles.
On top of all that, Abby's got a challenge to face closer to home. Her mother, a celebrity health nut, just can't understand why she's so content with herself and her choices. It's a battle to prove that Abby is perfectly fine just the way she is, and it's not easy.
But wait, there's more! As Abby starts to believe that she's finally stepping out of the sidekick role in her own life, Jordi's photography unexpectedly thrusts her into the spotlight. But instead of feeling like the star she's always dreamed of being, Abby feels betrayed. It's a tough pill to swallow.
So now the big question is: Can Abby figure out a way to reconcile her positive and private self-image with the way others perceive her? It's one rollercoaster of a journey, my friends, and you won't want to miss a single moment. Dive into this audiobook and witness Abby's story unfold, narrated by the talented Cassandra Morris.
