When their parents decide it's time they "learn the real world," seventeen-year-old Dovie Hart and her best friend Paris are shipped from their protected lives straight into a sprawling NYC penthouse-with one rule:
No parents. No help. Figure it out yourselves.
Suddenly, Dovie's world is a whirlwind of budgeting electricity bills, grocery shopping at 2 a.m., navigating private-school politics, handling paparazzi waiting outside their building, and keeping her fluffy dog Shelby the shihtzu from greeting every stranger like they're royalty.
And as if learning adulthood overnight wasn't enough, she also has to deal with the boys.
Ellis - Dovie's older brother, chaotic, loud, and convinced he's the CEO of the penthouse.
Miles - Paris's brother... and Ellis's best friend. Quiet, steady, annoyingly handsome Miles, who somehow ends up everywhere Dovie goes.
The worst part? He sees her.
Not the polished daughter of famous parents.
Not the girl stuck in everyone else's shadow.
Her.
Between late-night grocery runs, rooftop dinners, exhausting school mornings, and weekends dodging paparazzi, Dovie starts to realize adulthood isn't just hard -
it's human.
And somewhere between the shared bills and shared chaos, the arguments over who forgot to switch off the lights, the soft glances in the kitchen at midnight, and the way Miles always seems to be there when she needs someone -
Dovie finds something she never expected.
Independence.
A home she built herself.
And a boy who makes her heart feel loud.
