This novel has notes of School of Rock and The Breakfast Club with high school and family drama.
In Candy's junior year, she has a huge role in the school's production, and she's hoping Benny's attention is the start of a new romance. But family troubles send her to live with her grandparents and attend school in the suburbs while her single mom goes to rehab to get her life on track. Not knowing when she'll reunite with her mom and leaving friends and a possible romance behind overwhelms Candy with anxiety. Maybe her old friends will forget about her? Maybe Benny flirts with everyone? She can't find a creative scene and becomes a target for pranks and bullying by trolls and the wannabe influencers she meets on her first day.
Candy is assigned to a group project with a lacrosse god, teacher's pet, tech geek, and drama queen, but her focus is scheming an escape back to her old life. Will Candy run from her problems and let others define her? Or will she remember her creative roots and lead the group into something the school won't soon forget?
