Meet Chloe Lance. A 16- year old girl from New Jersey. Her whole life is a prison cell filled with stress, craved approval & low self-esteem. And her overbearing and unsupportive mother, a traditional-minded, toxic Indian mom, doesn't make her life any easier. Debate competitions, Foreign Language Speaking Competitions, Science Fairs...all for her mother.

But when Chloe finally realizes the torture she's being put through isn't worth making her mother happy for, she decides to let go of her stress and grab a hold onto her creative side. She takes up private vocal lessons online and trains herself to be a professional singer and musician. Using her wits and skills, she embarks on a journey away from the hurtful past of her home and ends up in a place of acceptance & unconditional love: her grandparent's home.

Fast forward, she found pure friendship in her school. Four boys, who treated her with the respect she was denied of for her whole childhood. Preston, the brains of the bunch, Gavin, the heart, Jeremy, the silly but kind of shallow, and Irfan, the backbone of the group and dancer. After taking a leap of faith with a cover of a song, Youtube views shoot through the roof and before they know it, they're stars. They all make a conscious decision to join Chloe on her journey through the music industry and form a band.

While the kids bask in the glory of fame and fortune, an out-of-nowhere problem arises...

A girl group of similar talents, Little Mix have been told to work with them for a collaboration. And they don't make it easy on them. But Chloe's past comes back to haunt her during this stressful time and she suddenly feels like an outcast in her own band.

 Her differences make her feel even more isolated from everyone else. How will she find her way through love, loss, fights and friendship? How will she cope with the pressures of being a child pop star? Is fame and fortune all it's cracked up to be?

She had everything she could wish for a set of supportive parents, an annoying but lovable older brother, and two amazing best friends, but her life would have been so much better if not for her. Emmalyn Cole also known as the school's sweetheart was the exact opposite. She was bright, loud and the absolute center of Rosewood High. Being the daughter of a self-made businesswoman and a famous pianist, she knew she was destined for greatness, but in sophomore year when she was publicly dumped by her boyfriend for her sister, she felt her friends and life slipping away. Junior year she knew that the scholarship to the art school her sister wanted would be her saving grace. She would easily get in if not for her. What started as a small competition spanned into a decade-long rivalry between the two girls. Both ambitious and always after excellence. With the turn of fate, they are once again competing head-on with each other. With the growing competition, a new boy comes along catching everyone's attention including those two and soon they find themselves competing for something other than the scholarship.

As the days pass and they grow closer, the girls find themselves questioning is he the one? or are they each other's perfect half?

Friendless and timid, Guinevere is stuck in her socially anxious shadow, content to let her sister lead and live a sheltered life. Without Natalie pushing her to break out of her comfort zone, she'd be trapped in fear. The world is scary, even her own family conflicts terrify her; she needs Natalie's support. But what happens when Natalie, her big sister, her mentor and only real friend, suddenly can't be there for every moment of her life? Lola, raised to be a hardworking farmer, when all she wants is a bit of agency over her life, the freedom to do what she wants. And yet, she is perfectly willing to let Natalie handle conversations for her. For as much as she wants to be free, she wouldn't know what to do with herself, get meticulously caught up in planning the details and never end up doing anything. And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on. Freely engaging with her friends and helping them, as she lacks her own internal drive, the self awareness to know what she wants. After a long childhood struggle with her self esteem and valuing herself, that has become what she "needs," her coping strategy with rough situations. Being complacent with what happens to her and simply accepting, with no real goals of her own, no idea that her friends are just as directionless as she is. When health complications arise for her, and her friend group is falling apart around her as she can't guide them, she'll have to ask the essential questions that she can't simply answer in a quick sentence. The questions that she has long dismissed as unimportant. Is this what she truly wants, to be solely fulfilled by everyone else depending on her for support? And where does she draw the line? This story touches on potentially triggering content, including the use of slurs, toxic family relationships, anxiety, anger, and death. Any real people, brands or places are only used to further realize the environment.
