The most important this is that you realize you get to define yourself – Playing it Straight
Lily Everett spent her entire life following along with what was expected of her; she never wanted to make waves. When senior year of college rolled around, she had a life that other girls envied- an awesome best friend, a spot on the cheerleading squad, and the dream boyfriend. Everything was perfectโฆuntil a stranger made her rethink everything and turned her world upside down. The day Lily met Charlotte Ramos, her life started to rearrange. Pulled together like magnets, Lily wasnโt sure where the line blurred between friendship and more. This new relationship made Lily stop going with the flow and fight to be herself, whoever that truly was.
