Jade is a normal 12 year old girl, well, at least on the outside she is.  With her aunt Holly on drugs and committing 
unspeakable crimes.  It's her duty to her family to keep her mouth shut.  But what about her life at school?  All her friends (or what she has left) are convinced her life is perfect, leaving her to solve their problems.  But what happens when her friendships are rapidly disappearing and all she has is her songbook, her piano, and her microphone.  Is it enough?  Or will people's words get to her head and tear her apart?

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
