Avery Jones is ready for a fresh start, and what better time than the first day at a new school? That’s where she meets Madison (the influÂencer), Teresa (the genius), and Corinne (the athlete). Each one is so unique and cool, all Avery wants to do is impress them.
So when she sees an opportunity to twist the truth a little, she takes it. After all, a little white lie never hurt anyone … right?
But when Avery’s new school merges with her old school, she finds herself in way over her head juggling two lives -- and her new friends are starting to get suspicious. Will Avery be able to fix things before her friends figure out the truth?
