Audrey Cartwright and her family have never been able to settle in one place for longer than two months because her father is in the army. But that all changes when he receives honorable discharge and her mother suggest they move back home, Atlanta, Georgia. Audrey is nervous and excited all at the same time. She will get to be with her old best friend, Brooklyn Chambers. But at the same time, she doesn't know if Brooklyn will still hate her for leaving. Back in Atlanta, Brooklyn runs Glen View. Her boyfriend Matt, who is also the president of Glen View, couldn't be happier with where he is now. He has the prettiest girl in school, he's captain of the soccer team, what else could he need? Then there's Dylan and Quentin Walker, fraternal twins. Everybody wants to be them, every girl wants to have them. Watch them goes through ups and downs in their final year of high school more than they ever have. Romance, school, family...you name it.
What happens when Audrey comes back to ATL?
Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training. None of which resulted in much of a social life. All of that changes though the summer before Lila's junior year of high school when her dad gets a new job in a different state. Being forced to transplant her life to the small town of Romeo without her brothers or gymnastics means Lila is on her own for the first time in her life. How is she supposed to start over from scratch and make new friends now?! The thought of having to meet all new people for someone who likes to fly under the radar is hard enough, but to do it at age sixteen? That feels impossible.
As fate would have it, Lila meets Payton Johnson on her first day at RHS who introduces her to Rachel, Kelly and Claire. The five become fast friends. The girls make it their mission to break Lila from her shyness and make Romeo feel like home. Oh, and they also recruit her to join their cheer team which isn't something Lila ever thought she'd feel confident enough to do.
Then there's Tyler Johnson. He's the senior football captain, star quarterback and most popular guy in school who happens to also be Payton's older brother. Lila doesn't want to catch feelings for her new besties brother, but quickly realizes you can't really control who you crush on. It's not like Tyler would ever go for her anyways, when he's got so many other girls begging for his attention....or would he?
If you're looking for a coming of age love story with strong female friendships, comic relief, overly protective brothers, self discovery, silly small town traditions and a slow burn....then look no further!
