[FINAL EDIT] After graduating from high school, Lauren was about to start a brand-new chapter in her life. During graduation, Lauren catches the eye of fellow classmate Jack Gilinsky and everything flips upside down. Because before then, she never questioned if she needed anything else in her life.

Two years after the engagement and after Jack and Jack reach their mild success, Lauren now lives with the Jacks in their California beach house. She's even made a name for herself in the dance world as a small YouTube sensation; an aspiring choreographer. Now, Lauren is ready to set a date for their wedding and ready to plan it. But she finds it's not as easy as it looks when busy schedules, manipulative people, constant parties, and new temptations are involved.

Harlow just moved back to Omaha after finishing graduate school. She also returns with a new wealthy fiancé, Nick. During her welcome-back party, she spots Sam Wilkinson, the 10 year old boy she used to babysit when she was 16 in high school - only, he's not so little anymore. Now he's 19 and charming, wise beyond his years. She tries her best to ignore his flirting and persistence when he's fully aware of her engagement. But he doesn't care. He ends up doing whatever it takes until she is his and only his. If only they both knew how dangerous Nick really was. 18+ (very) mature themes.

[FINAL EDIT] It's coming up on Lauren and Jack's one year anniversary and everything is different now. His music career with Jack J. is on the brink of taking off. Now Lauren has to deal with his growing fanbase, the possibility of going on tour, and being away for weeks at a time. They last made a promise to fix anything that became "bent or broken", but can they keep that promise as the world of "Jack and Jack" grows?
