Description
Annie couldn’t be more excited. She’s moving to an adorable small town where she’ll find the perfect friend group and maybe even her first boyfriend. Her new house has a pool, and she’s getting a stepsister her age named Leela...
Leela is not happy. She’s leaving the bright lights of New York City to live in the middle of nowhere with an annoying stepsister and two stepbrothers. Plus, kids at her new school seem gossipy and toxic. Leela wants out.
When a blended family brings together two very different girls, each with their own secrets, crushes, and schemes, drama ensues. Will Annie and Leela find a way to get along, or is their luck about to run out?
Rumor Has It (The Luckies #1) by Sarah Mlynowski and Christina Soontornvat invites readers into the tumultuous adventures of a new family navigating unexpected friendships and rivalries.
