JC shines like a 4th of July sparkler. She has the best ideas, the biggest, funniest laugh, and the party starts when she arrives. Serena St. John is proud to be known as her best friend.
Everything changes when JC returns from the hospital with a new kidneyâand a new best friend. Out of the spotlight of JCâs friendship, suddenly things arenât quite so sparkly in Serenaâs world.
Lonely Serena works on perfecting her vlogs, hoping to earn a shot at becoming a classroom reporter. If she can be smart and funny on video, why canât she manage that in real life? If only she could always pause, edit, or delete conversations. It would be so much easier to say the right thing at the right time . . . instead of not saying what she should, or, even worse, blurting out a secret that wasnât hers to share.
Life doesnât have a pause buttonâbut as Serena discovers her voice through vlogging, she learns that sheâs not just there to reflect JCâs lightâsheâs fully capable of shining on her own.
