AJ White, an impressive songwriter, is ready for anything, even a little bit of romance. While she soon finds herself involved with Derek, a talented singer with a killer smile, AJ develops feelings for her roommate and struggles at the implication. She’s never fallen for a girl before—does this mean she is gay? Bi? Add in a celebrity attempting to blackmail her and a family who’ll disown her if she reveals her true self, and AJ can’t help but wonder if attending McMillan’s was a huge mistake.
Throughout the chaos, Minami and AJ fight to keep together the best thing that has ever happened to them—each other.
