    💜Embark on a heartfelt journey of self-discovery, first love, and the transformative power of a 90s playlist in this captivating coming-of-age story.💜
    
    To 15-year old Rose, it's not just 1995. It's the era of mixtapes, shrink-wrapped CDs, and bass blasting from a boom box. It is sophomore year in a new school and mean girls who dash her hopes at fitting in. It's a dizzying crush on her bully's boyfriend Zach and the desperate desire to become part of his world--even if it means becoming someone she's not.
    
    Cue Rose's glow up and a series of missteps which put her on a path to popularity she never intended to walk. With Zach finally within reach, and revenge in sight, how far will Rose go on the quest for transformation? Will she risk friendship, her self respect, and even a shot at true love in the quest to prove her worth? 
    
    Sometimes you have to face the music, and die a little inside, to rise as a better version of yourself.
