"So, this is the library," Beck says with a mock-serious tone, opening the door with a dramatic flourish.
"I can read signs, thanks," I deadpan, stepping inside.
"Ah, but can you read vibes?" He leans against the doorframe, a smirk playing on his lips. "This place is like, peak academic stress."
I arch a brow. "I'm here for a tour, not your weird aura readings."
He shrugs. "Aura readings come free with the package. I'm an all-inclusive kinda guy."
I sigh. "Is there a refund policy?"
"Not unless you survive the cafeteria tour," he grins. "It's a jungle out there."

Serenity Hall is new to Meadowbrook High, having left behind the quiet charm of Dorset for the high-stakes world of elite academia. Her plans for a low-profile start are quickly thwarted when Beckett Lee, her laid-back and endlessly erratic neighbour, barges into her life. Serenity tries to navigate the complicated social landscape of Meadowbrook.
Beckett Lee is the resident laid-back neighbour who's lived at Meadowbrook High long enough to know its secrets and its snobs. With his casual charm and a knack for turning even the most mundane moments into comedic relief, Beck has a unique perspective on the school's elite. When he meets Serenity, the new girl with a sharp tongue and an air of mystery, Beck is intrigued. His casual offer of a campus tour quickly turns into an exploration of hidden tensions and rivalries, revealing that there's more to Serenity than meets the eye and more to Beck's own life than he lets on.
When Serenity's sharp, British humour meets Beck's relentless enthusiasm, sparks fly--both in witty banter and in the tension between her and the elite students who think they own the place. Can Serenity find her footing in this new world without revealing the surprising truth about her connection to the school?
