Magnolia Bishop's parents have high expectations for her.
As wealthy lawyers, they believe in straight A's, zero distractions, and - to land the position of school ambassador: her golden ticket to the best law school, and the start of the road that'll make her the best defense attorney in the city.
She's ready to do whatever it takes to finally earn her parents' hard earned approval, except there's one problem.
There's competition.
And unfortunately, that competition includes a silver-eyed boy that's nothing less than gorgeous and ready to work twice as hard as she is to win.
Between juggling through the struggles of staying high up on her school's competitive hierarchy, withstanding pressure from her perfectionist parents, and the sudden loss of her best friend and first love, Magnolia finds herself reminiscing through the memories of her past relationship, and, along the rocky way, learns how to find new friends, a few pieces of her broken heart mended back, and maybe even a new person to love.
