Little secrets grow up to be big lies...
They've been best friends since their sons started high school together, and Felicity, Emma and Neve share everything ... or so they thought.
But Flick's seemingly perfect marriage hides a shocking secret which, with one word, threatens to destroy her and her family's happiness. Emma is in denial about a potential custody battle, her financial constraints, the exhaustion she can't seem to shake off and the inappropriate feelings she has for her boss. And single mom Neve is harboring a secret of her own; a secret that might forever damage her close-knit relationship with her son.
When the tight hold they have each kept on their secrets for years begins to slip, they must face the truth. Even if that truth has the power to hurt the ones they love, and each other.
Perhaps some secrets weren't made to be kept.

High school senior Lou thought life was simple-stick to the plan, avoid trouble, and never lose focus on the one thing that mattered: his graduation bet with his best friend Charles. If Lou could avoid falling for anyone, especially the mysterious new girl, Shan J, he'd win. Easy, right? But when Shan J walks into his life, everything changes.

Now Lou faces the ultimate gamble: protect Shan and risk losing himself, or walk away and break both their hearts. With enemies closing in, romance heating up, and a bet he can't afford to lose, Lou must decide if love is worth the chaos it bringsZakończone
