About this eBook
The prequel to the New York Times bestselling author’s provocative series featuring best friends getting a crash course in love, family, and betrayal.
They couldn’t be less alike—except for their restless spirits. Lola came from a loving home, even though it included her father’s live-in mistress. And Joan is a secret wild child chafing under her mother’s watchful eye. So when Lola’s quiet world shatters and her hopes seem out of reach for good, Joan has the perfect consolation in mind.
But the besties will soon discover that boyfriends, money, and good times are no real escape from their families’ ever-scandalous drama. Soon, with demanding stepparents, conniving relatives, and simmering secrets closing in, they’ll have to watch each other’s backs and use their quick wits to save their lifelong dreams . . .

This was good! I don't think I could keep a "deathbed promise" though. Life is too short to B tied down w/someone who was likely playing U.

I love the way the author develops the characters. Just as soon as I got hooked on Lola and Joan the ending came.
