What are the perks of having an internet friend, you said? Well, I’m very glad you asked, thank you very much.
Well, apart from the obvious that is, which are; social interaction without actually having to meet people, getting to say, “my friend from –” and whichever country they’re from – which will make you sound like such an interesting traveller instead of the sun-deprived person that you are – and them having your backs whenever a bitch fight sparks up – because wow; who knew you couldn’t really express an opinion on the internet anymore?! But there are even more.
Faye Ely, for example, even moved to Sweden, where her long time internet friend, Johan Brolin, lives. And well; here’s another perk – already having a friend in a new country! Then you’ll get to make friends with his friends, such as Johan’s band mates, in this case; Jolle, Pete, Jonas and Nikki. Well, isn’t that great?
Now, the main reason Faye moves to Sweden – dragging her best friend Kayla Dannell along with her, of course – is because she wasn’t too happy back home. However, life in Sweden isn’t quite the easy-going life she had hoped for. I mean; the boys are lovely, of course. Johan, known as Jaybee, perhaps a bit too lovely towards her, which might be the reason why his girlfriend – or ex, or girlfriend; you have to read on to find out – to put it in a simple way; hates Faye’s guts.
And then there’s the thing with the guy living across the hall from Faye and Kayla. Something is definitely up with him.
Or so Jaybee thought.
Or maybe there really is! I won’t bother you with anymore details here, but I guess if you want to know more; just read on.
"Not screwing as in ongoing. It was a one time... or two time thing," I cringe at how slutty that makes me sound. "I was a little drunk... the second time. Whatever, the details aren't important because it's not going to happen again."
"Twice? Honestly Mack, I thought you were better than to fall for his shit. I've watched him churn through women, fuck em and dump em. I know he's my boss but he isn't a good guy! And you work with him too! Scarlett was one thing, but now he's got you both in his bed!"
Note to self, don't tell Tristan that neither time was in a bed and we only had sex once. You know what, let's just keep the details to the bare minimum, he can fill in whatever blanks he wants to.

Mackenzie has been living a life for everyone else, mainly her long term high school boyfriend. She doesn't seem to know who she is anymore, what she wants, or how to stand up for herself.
When she starts a new job she never expected to meet people like Tristan, Scarlett and Alex. People who changed her life, encouraged her to be herself and chase her own dreams. These friendships help to heal her heart, but could they turn to something more?
