Mia seems to live an ordinary fun loving life, but the face she puts on everyday is very misleading compared to her actual life 
It's so hard for her to even feel slightly comfortable in her own skin, so it's even harder for her to make friends. It's already hard enough with her being the laughing stock of the family.
 At this time in her life she really needs someone who will come into her life and stay there. Not someone who will come into it, destroy it, and then leave her there trying to put back the pieces that she didn't even have to begin with.
Mia yearns for that someone, whether it be a friend or the love of her life. How will this dream even become a possibility when she can barely hold a conversation with her mom? 
Watch what happens when Mia stumbles upon the kid in the back of the classroom that's always quiet and never talks to people, but is praised for his good lucks and followed around by a group of girls everyday trying to be with him.

Nicky Peters sets out on an emotional roller coaster when she creates a melody from an old high school journal entry which develops into her debut song for her second album. Her personal and professional life become quickly complicated when she finds herself standing in front of the one person she thought she'd never see again, the same person who unfortunately understands all too well who Nicky's hit song is really about...him. ******** Nicky Peters' rise to fame in country music was fast, being plucked out of obscurity at seventeen after her YouTube videos went viral. After she pens a very personal song from one of her old high school journals called, "Honestly," for her much-anticipated second album, she realizes her feelings will be under a microscope for the whole world to see, including Nate Stanton, her ex-best friend from childhood. He also just happens to be the one person who truly understands the meaning behind her heart-wrenching song. What happens when fate brings her face-to-face with the boy she thought she'd never see again? Nicky quickly realizes airing her emotions out in public via a number-one, hit song can make things complicated fast. As Nate and Nicky reconnect and navigate through their past, truths are revealed, assumptions are at an all-time high, and a publicity nightmare looms which jeopardizes all she's worked so hard for. While Nicky's misfortunes add up, she realizes fame comes with a price. She begins to understand the cold, hard facts, keeping her career intact as country's "it" girl and maintaining a personal life may be more difficult than it sounds, especially when you're living through a public scandal.
Romie Adler's Musical Guide by KimberAnneGish
39 parts Complete
Romie Adler has been a devoted fan of music since she could remember, so much so that she chose a career path that involved making it; the words of the music that is. She is so close to graduating from UCLA with a degree in songwriting that she can almost taste it, but she honestly doesn't know how she is going to get into the business. By an act of fate, she gets pushed towards three talented brothers that just so happen to be an accomplished band that have a few albums that went platinum. She has been a huge fan of theirs for years, so it's almost like a wild dream when they hire her on to help write their new album. Since they are a band of real life brothers, they bring her in like she is an adoptive member of their family. Romie has never really had a family before, she has parents yes, but they were either never there, or they were way too self involved with themselves to pay attention to her; so once she gets invited to this very involved with each other family she feels as if she is being smothered; she's used to doing things on her own because that's all she's ever known. But.... she learns real fast that living in Hollywood can give you everything you want and everything you don't. Hollywood is filed with lies, love, almost loves, ex-loves, never going to be loves, and most of all finding yourself. Romie knows that somehow she can help herself through Hollywood and life as long as she has a song to guide her.

This book is a RomCom book(Romance comedy). Read if you love laughing.😊 CURRENTLY EDITING AND WORKING ON RE-WRITING. PLEASE IGNORE SOME IMMATURE THINGS THAT THE CHARACTERS EXHIBIT. I'LL BE RE-WRITING THE BOOK AS SOON AS SCHOOL STRESS REDUCES A TAD BIT. Mia Montana has always had the fantasy of a perfect ever after. She believes she can find that in Dayne Matthews her current boyfriend. He is just that perfect person. It's him or no other. Jason Steele New York's most eligible billionaire bachelor. He is every ladies dream. But the problem is, he isn't looking for a long term commitment. Being a product of a failed marriage he believes love doesn't exist. Jason and Mia's grandfathers are best friends. When Mia's grandpa suffers from a mild heart attack, he realizes that there isn't much time left. But he has a wish, to see his grand daughter walk down the aisle. The problem is; he thinks Dayne isn't that man. He arranges with his best friend to match-make their grand children on the pretext of merging their companies. Jason and Mia refuse to compromise. So they strike a deal with them. "You both will live together for 30 days, if you don't fall in love with each other within those 30 days. You both can go your separate ways and marry whoever you want to marry". Found in between the devil and the blue sea, they both agree. Mia feels she is in love with someone already, so loving Jason will be totally impossible. But life isn't how it seems like always. They are yet to discover love isn't a matter of choice but a matter of the heart. Disclaimer- I know that this book has lots of plot holes, and all that. Trust me when I say I'm definitely working on it. I haven't fully gotten around editing it 'cause how busy life is at the moment. Note that, this book is my first book ever as a writer and as such has stuff that needs to be worked on. If you want to read a really thought out work, you can read my other books. I do hope you all understand.
