Ever since her parents death, Asha has been living her life hiding away.
She has managed to keep herself clear from every single teenage drama her whole life, she was even proud of it... that is of course until one day, Maddison Fraser, a girl she once knew very well, decides to play with fire.
Maddison is dating the five most popular girls in her school.
The problem is, Maddison is manipulative, calculating and an unapologetic player. Maddie humiliates and laughs at them in front of the whole school, and soon enough, the school turns them into a joke, they are "Maddie's Girls" - no longer known for their popularity but rather because of the humiliation and embarrassment Maddison put them through.
Fuelled by anger and heartbreak, the five girls (Rebecca, Nina, Lottie, Maggie & Cassie), come up with a plan to break Maddie's heart.
Right in the middle of it, with no idea why, is Asha. Asha, unproblematic little Asha, gets sucked right into the middle of the drama and it flips her life upside down.
But change isn't always a bad thing.
Throughout the story, Asha and the girls will learn to open up, to trust, to let go, to forgive and love again.
What do you do when your smart, handsome, well-liked step brother and two of his friends force you to have sex with them in your own bedroom? Do you tell? And what if no one believes you? Or worse yet, what if the adults and even the friends that you count on think that it's somehow your fault?
Sixteen-year-old Molly Kerrigan has a horrible secret, one so painful that she tries her hardest to forget it. Starting over at a new school, she does all she can to remain anonymous. But a well-meaning social worker hoping to help Molly come to terms with her troubled past, forces her to participate in an every-other-day lunch group. It is here that she meets Ali, who is figuring out her own sexuality, Trinity, so neglected at home that she seeks solace in the arms of older men, Rubi, a Mexican immigrant with her hands full, between her dying mama and younger, special needs sister, and Layla, the richest, most beautiful, and most manipulative girl in the school. Molly also draws the attention of charming soccer player, Noah Nazarian, after he sees her accidentally defending his freshman brother from bullies on the first day of school. Desperate to be left alone, Molly invents a pretend boyfriend. The only problem is that he ends up being not so pretend, and now Molly finds herself as one half of a fake relationship that is the obsession of the most popular clique at school.
