Jennie Kim is stressed. Her landlord just raised the rent on her tiny, moldy apartment, and she's one week away from being completely broke. Enter Lisa Manoban: Jennie's chaotic, incredibly rich, and effortlessly cool best friend. Lisa lives alone in a massive, breathtaking penthouse that her parents bought her, and she has more than enough space to share.
Moving in together seems like the perfect solution. But there's a catch.
Lisa is the ultimate college playgirl-flirty, popular, and always joking around. Everyone on campus loves her, but she values her friendship with Jennie above everything else. There's just one person Lisa cannot stand: Jennie's boyfriend, Kai. Lisa thinks he is arrogant, toxic, and bad for her best friend.
Now, living under the same roof, Lisa is on a mission to be the best roommate ever, protect Jennie from her annoying boyfriend, and bring total chaos into Jennie's organized life. Will they survive living together, or will Lisa's wild energy drive Jennie crazy?
