But whenBrie’s mom walks in on her accidentally viewing inappropriate photos of her favorite actress, Briepanics and blurts out that she’s been chosen for a very important event at school. It works: Brie’s momis distracted with pride—but Brie’s in big trouble, because she has not been chosen. No one has. Worse,Brie has almost no chance, because the honor always goes to a top student.Desperate to make her lie become truth, Brie turns to a girl named Kennedy for help. Butsometimes just looking at Kennedy gives Brie butterflies. Juggling her new feelings with the pressureto keep her mom proud of her—not to mention her hilarious non-star turn in the school play—Brienavigates truth and lies, expectations and identity, and searches for a way to finally get her mother tosee her as she is.
