Ylona Marie Gonzales, an awkward, self-deprecating girl stuck in the shadow of her stunning family, has always embraced being the "frog" in a world full of "princesses." But when a viral moment sparks unexpected attention, she finds herself caught between a new identity and the pressure to change. With the support of her online friend PantsuChan, and an unexpected ally in the form of the popular (and infuriating) Keiffer Montblanc, Ylona begins to question everything she thought she knew about beauty, self-worth, and love. As she navigates the murky waters of high school drama, toxic friendships, and unexpected crushes, Ylona must decide: Will she stay true to the "frog" she's always been or chase the fleeting validation of becoming a "princess?"
Tiana's been hiding the fact that she's into girls for as long as she can remember. Every time she hears her parents say something homophobic on TV, she shrinks a little more inside.
When Reese transfers to her school, she makes Amara feel seen for the first time. They get close - first as friends, then something more, all while Tiana's fighting herself and the fear of losing everything she's ever known.
Eventually, it's not just about coming out to her parents - it's about accepting herself first.
