Alexia is the queen-bee mean girl at school, Ruby’s sworn enemy since first grade, and will soon be her stepsister. Anna, Ruby’s best friend, is crushing hard on the new boy at school, Oliver, but Ruby has had a grudge against “Cute Boy” ever since he beat her in an art contest four years prior. Life is a mess.

Crushes, compelling friendships, love triangles, first kisses, and a stray dog complete the mayhem. Join Ruby and her friends as she navigates all of the intricacies of being in the middle of things while learning rich life lessons along the way. How do you put your life back together when everything is falling apart? Sometimes all it takes is a little love.
