Description
Seventeen, fashion-obsessed, and gay, Abby Ives has always been content playing the sidekick in other peopleβs lives. While her friends and sister have plunged headfirst into the world of dating and romances, Abbyβs been happy to focus on her plus-size style blog and her dreams of taking the fashion industry by storm. When she lands a great internship at her favorite boutique, sheβs thrilled to take the first step toward her dream career. Then she falls for her fellow intern, Jordi Perez. Hard. And now sheβs competing against the girl sheβs kissing to win the coveted paid job at the end of the internship.
But really, nothing this summer is going as planned. She also unwittingly becomes friends with Jax, a lacrosseplaying bro-type who wants her help finding the best burger in Los Angeles, and sheβs struggling to prove to her motherβthe cityβs celebrity health nutβthat sheβs perfectly content with who she is.
Just as Abby starts to feel like sheβs no longer the sidekick in her own life, Jordiβs photography surprisingly puts her in the spotlight. Instead of feeling like sheβs landed a starring role, Abby feels betrayed. Can Abby find a way to reconcile her positive yet private sense of self with the image others have of her?
