****Edited Version Now Available on Amazon****** 16-year-old Lydia Tonelli has six overprotective, overbearing, and overly involved brothers. Born to two hardworking immigrant parents, their tight-knit sibling bond has gotten them through everything. Now, however, she is beginning to resent the domineering attitudes of her brothers, especially the eldest-Felix. Felix has blurred the lines between parent and sibling and dictates her everyday life. She's not allowed to date, not allowed to dress a certain way, and can barely go anywhere without one of her brother's supervision. What the boys believe is out of love and consideration for her wellbeing and her future, is the driving force behind Lydia's desire to rebel. When Damon Rodriguez, the bad boy in school, shows a special interest in Lydia, she is tempted to disobey her family and dive into her first real relationship. A tragic occurrence followed by a silver lining allows Lydia some breathing room to explore the new romance. But every action has a consequence, and now Lydia has found herself in a web of lies she can't seem to see herself out of. Friendships, relationships, and sibling bonds are all put to the test. That's high school, right?

Her six, overbearing, overprotective, and borderline crazy (in her humble opinion) brothers, have found out about her not-so-secret boyfriend, her best friend has been secretly hooking up with her brother, and to top it all off, her three cousins from Italy have moved in and joined the brotherhood of making Lydia's life hard. Damon Rodriguez has been the perfect boyfriend, and what seems like her only ally, but now she has to decide if she should stay with him and follow her happiness, or break up with him and obey her family's rules. A series of unfortunate events leaves her in the hospital, her brothers in jail, and perhaps the deadliest event- a family dinner with Damon. A tragic turn of events means Lydia is going to leave home for a while, leaving everyone reeling. She finally breathes fresh air without her brothers around- or so she thinks. The rift between Felix and her father is growing more apparent by the day and she finally finds out why. A revelation from Felix brings Lydia home where she makes her final decision. Loyalty to her family, or her own happiness.

He's smirking down at me as he says, "Um, you're in my seat." I laugh and say, "You realize that is the most cliche thing you could possibly say?" He looks confused so I elaborate. "It's the first day of school and you're coming up the new girl, claiming I'm in your seat. Sorry, but it's not very original." He huffs and rolls his eyes. "Get out of my seat, sunshine." "Watch it happen, pretty boy." I reply, smirking as I stuff my other earbud back in. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Madeline Lace is the youngest of six, the older five being all brothers.

One of which being their cocky, self-assured next door neighbor who isn't too discreet about taking an obvious liking towards Maddie. Her hope that he'd give up and leave her alone diminishes when his dorky personality starts to shine through, growing on her.
