I was born and raised in a good family. I had loving parents and a fair, kind-hearted big sister. I lived in an elite part of New York, Upper East side. I had many friends, I was active in almost every events the school held. People knew who I was, they loved hanging out with me. Guys fought over me while the girls bowed before me. Therefore, I considered myself as an A-list. Life was so great....
I wished.
Nikki Summers was just another girl next door you could find; attractive, young, cheerful. She didn't live a double life, God, no. She didn't. Much less, hiding a top-notch secret which could danger the entire planet. No. She wasn't like that. She was normal. Her life was normal yet she did live in Upper East side. Her parents were fine, a bit busy and so was her sister, except her messed up life.
She had these four lovely bestfriends she would look up to. They hung out every day, spent their time together, threw a sleepover party. But time went fastly and before they even realized, they were in high school, becoming a sophomore.
There then, began the complicated high school drama Nikki had to experienced. Love, hurt, affairs, anger, betrayal, she had had to bear it. The five bestfriends started to question their friendship.
Would they survive?
Tessa's love life is full of clichés. She fell for the boy next door, her brother's best friend, and her childhood crush. They all just happen to be the same guy- Levi Daniels. Tessa and Levi seem to be stuck in an endless loop of right person, wrong time scenarios where one of them is single when the other isn't.
One summer, that finally changes. Both Tessa and Levi are single, and the spark that's always been there seems to burn brighter than ever before as the two join their friends for another summer of fun at their coveted lake house. Things couldn't be better. Their star-crossed love seems to finally be morphing into a fairy tale, but is one night really all it takes for them to find their happily ever after?
You know what they say... If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Levi did the one thing he wasn't supposed to do. He fell for his best friend's sister- someone he would never be free of if anything bad ever happened. There was something about Tessa Rhodes that kept him coming back. She was his kryptonite, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never quite bury his feelings for her.
Then came the summer that changed everything. Levi finally decided to let his inhibitions go. Even if it didn't work out, he had to see what would happen. He told Tessa everything, baring his feelings, and leaving the ball in her court. One night would change their relationship forever, and an infuriating discovery the next morning would threaten to ruin them for good.
