London Abrams likes to
spike volleyballs, not wear spike heels. But in one
crush-tasic moment, she signs up for a modeling contest
to get the attention of its cute photography intern.
Never in a million years did London expect to get
selected as a finalist. Before she knows it, she’s in an
online reality show competition against 14 super chic
chicks–including her childhood frenemy. |
In the
novella “Double Act” meet Mia, a double Dutch champ who
struggles to readjust after switching high schools. She
feels too buttoned-up around old friends in her 'hood,
and too urban around her new classmates in the 'burbs.
Her identity crisis comes to a head when both worlds
become equally demanding and Mia has to choose between
the two. |
