When Allison Parker comes home from school to be immediately cornered and informed by her parents that they're moving to America, her dream country, of course she would be completely ecstatic. Actually, 'completely ecstatic' wouldn't even closely justify what she felt.

     And of course her twin brother Dylan would refuse to go, but thanks to Allison's expertise in the art of persuasion, she manages to convince him that moving to America would be nothing but exhilarating adventures and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that just couldn't be missed.

     And so with Allison's daydreaming about the big, bustling cities, randomly bumping into famous celebrities down the street, and drinking Starbucks coffee with Beyoncé, it's when they actually arrive that Allison realises that it's absolutely nothing like her daydreams.

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.
