Renae Carter never wanted to transfer to Hollywood Arts. But after one unexpected performance mishap, she finds herself tangled in the strange magic of a school full of dancers, artists, eccentrics, and...flirty puppets?
At the center of the chaos? André Harris-talented, annoyingly charming, and a little too good at reading her.
They're just friends. Obviously. Probably.
"You're not just my best friend... you're my inspiration."
But in a world of music, missteps, and late-night writing sessions, sometimes friendship hits a different note.
"...And you're mine."
