jo vanderbilt had never been good with change. she was most comfortable when everything was just-so, and she could live with the routine she always had. she was at her best when she had the same friends, the same schedule, and the same home life.

however, lately, everything around her had been changing. her parents separated, sending her mom on a job in a foreign land and her dad to los angeles for the simple reason of getting away from her. her house, which had once been filled with laughter and her mother's homemade pho, now suffocated itself in silence.

though the biggest change of all in her life wasn't an event, it was a person: spencer james. he brought forth a world jo had never been in before, and while it scared her, it also allowed her a new perspective. a perspective that led to her feelings for jordan baker.

he had always been a constant in her life. they had been best friends since kindergarten, and she had never thought to see him any other way. but seeming that nothing could stay the same for the unlucky girl, it made sense that her feelings for the boy morphed into something she never thought possible.
