They were all going to be talking about it for weeks. Maybe even for months. There really never was a time limit on how long gossiping about a certain subject would last in a place like Brightdale.
It all really depended on how juicy the drama was; in reality simply meaning how long it was enough to entertain the filthy rich housewives on their weekly gatherings at the Cherry Blossoms Spa. Wives that made these occasions their priority while the nannies brought up their children and husbands brought home the money.
A life that was pretty much the worst nightmare of Sophie Alcott; a 26 year old who was just about to become the main talk of those spa sessions.
****
Everything changed for Sophie that day when she said no to the one question so many other women were dying to say yes to. Her whole world slowly came crumbling down around her and all she wanted to do was to escape. But little did she know, that running away from problems would only create more of them.
Join Sophie in this hilarious journey of self-discovery; where she finds out a more about herself, love and life itself that she could have ever even dreamed off.

Summery - half a childhood left
Summary: Half a Childhood Left Not such a child anymore, but life had other ideas-and other plans. As a junior, Troy is one of those high school boys growing up in a single-parent home, defying every stereotype. He's hardworking, polite, and determined-doing his best to succeed in school while aiming for a brighter future. Troy grinds every day with a singular focus on basketball, dreaming of turning his final year into a Division I college scholarship. Then there's Summer-the rich girl from Hidden Hills. She's fun, outgoing, and carefree, living with both her parents. She's used to getting everything she wants and hasn't been prepared for responsibility. When their worlds collide at a party, sparks fly. What begins as innocent flirting quickly evolves into something more... something neither of them is ready for. Soon, they're hit with a surprise: an unplanned pregnancy. One night of adult decisions leaves them breathless, nine months later, facing a world that won't slow down. Troy is forced to "man up" and shoulder responsibilities he never asked for. His dreams of a scholarship and college are now tangled in the complexities of real life. Meanwhile, Summer remains trapped in a golden cage of privilege, continuing to party and relying on a nanny when it's her turn to care for the baby. Troy and Summer clash over parenting. They fall into an on-again, off-again relationship-complicated, messy, and painful. At one point, one of them even enters another relationship while still in high school. Together, they navigate the entanglements of school, parental expectations, social pressures, and the constant buzz of their own insecurities. And through it all, they keep chewing away at the little bit of childhood they have left.Complete
