Jeet. Dice. Jax. Melly.
They've known each other since diapers, and yet, they haven't known exactly how bad each other can be until this year. Jeet is hiding a mindblowing secret, and using everyone he can to hide it. Dice, harboring a secret love on the brother of her bestfriend's brother who seems to never really know what he wants. Jax, forever complicated, can't choose between Dice and whatever is hiding in his closet of skeletons. Melly, the classic product of an overbearing mother and here-but-somewhere-else father finds herself and love in the arms of older men, giving her gifts ranging from diamonds to cars, and endless company. But this works against her for once when her latest conquest is the 21 year old teacher of her worst subject.
Told between Dice and Melly's P.O.V.'s, this story will have twists, turns, scandals, sex, murder, dugs, mystery, and a happy ending.
