There she meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn’t surprised to find herself attracted to Bo. But she is surprised when he seems to like her back.

Cicciottella, sgraziata e un po' insicura, Victoria Dawson non si è mai sentita all'altezza della sua famiglia tanto snob quanto superficiale. Fin da piccola, ha imparato a sopportare gli sguardi di disapprovazione della madre e gli sgradevoli commenti del padre sulle sue forme morbide, e ha affogato i dispiaceri nel gelato e nei dolci, rassegnandosi a vivere nell'ombra della sorella Grace, così bella da rasentare la perfezione. Tuttavia, proprio nella sorella Victoria trova un'insperata alleata: diverse eppure così simili, le due ragazze stringono un rapporto profondo di amore incondizionato e rispetto reciproco, crescendo più vicine di quanto avrebbero mai immaginato. Almeno fino al giorno in cui Victoria decide di abbandonare Los Angeles e la sua famiglia per trasferirsi a New York. Qui, lontana da tutti, può finalmente essere la persona che ha sempre sognato e ricominciare da capo. Trova lavoro come insegnante in una delle migliori scuole private della città e, senza curarsi del mancato sostegno dei genitori - che continuano a rimproverarla per la scarsa considerazione di sé -, per la prima volta si sente felice e realizzata. Ma quando Grace le annuncia di volersi sposare con un uomo egocentrico e narcisista, che è l'esatta copia del padre, Victoria è costretta a tornare in California. Per proteggere la sorella da un matrimonio sbagliato e per affrontare la sua famiglia una volta per tutte.
