On the surface, seventeen-year-old Alex has it made. She’s
beautiful and smart, plus she’s best friends with M, the
absolute most popular girl in school. Feeling bored with
their fancy Orange County suburban town, Alex and M decide
to check out L.A.’s glitzy nightlife scene.
Pretending to be nineteen, Alex and M meet Trevor and
Connor, two rich older guys. At first Alex can’t believe her
luck—she gets to hang out at hip Hollywood house parties and
downtown L.A. clubs. These weekend trips into the city
become the perfect distraction for Alex, who is secretly
struggling with her failing senior-year grades, her absentee
father, and her clueless mom.
But after the initial fun wears off for Alex, she is forced
to re-evaluate her friendship with M, who is hiding some
secrets beneath her perfect Burberry-clad exterior…
