Despite being on the chunky side, Millie is determined to be a broadcast journalist. Her classmate, Callie, is much better at making frenemies than friends. When Callie's prank spins out of control, the twosome end up workmates so that Callie can pay off her debt.
A great exploration of the ebb and flow of forgiveness and friendship. Complex characters that seem real. Prepare to laugh and cry, all within the same paragraph, throughout the story!
