What if you could live 10 different lives? Stuck as the cause of a messy relationship break between her parents and unable to trust herself enough to stand out in school, Nicole Thorn is skeptical when her long-time crush, an elusive jock named Noah Murdock, asks her out. Much as she wants to believe he actually likes her, she can't shake a gut feeling-and so she enforces the help of her eccentric and spontaneous beautician mother to transform herself into nine other girls and pop up into Noah's life. What starts as a way to prove her boyfriend's loyalty turns into a dangerous trap as Nicole becomes addicted with the thrill of being someone else and escaping the problems that sit like weights upon her shoulders every day. Soon she's realizing things that were better left not knowing and severing all the relationships she ever had, and she can't find a way out other than finding a way to be confident with who she really is.

Don't you miss Providence Prep and all of the quirky drama that takes place inside its doors? The confusing love rectangles, the dress code infractions Quinn can never seem to escape, and the lousiest football team in all of high school history? Quinn's about to miss it all, too-in only thirty days. Six months later, Quinn is navigating through the last month of her sophomore year of high school. But that's not all she has to deal with: as her impending move over a thousand miles away is on the horizon, Quinn can't help but face the harsh reality. She still hasn't told her boyfriend of exactly six months that she's leaving. And if that isn't a cause for the most catastrophic yet comedically Quinn-like disaster, she doesn't know what is. {Cover by @graphicqueen-}

As her life starts to unravel and her perspectives on everyone she thought she knew change, she has to make a quick decision between living at the top of the pyramid and living with herself. And even if she does choose to take a stand, who's to stay she'll succeed? Can the girls on top really overthrow a system that's years in the making?
