Nesta is  devasted-sge has to wear a brace! She thinks that no boy will ever look at her again without thinking about the killer shark in jaws. and practising a smile that doesn't show her teeth isn't helping. There's only one option: to become a recluse. Lucy, Izzie,  and TJ try to help her realise that she still looks great and anyway, it's her bubbly personality that counts. but Nesta's not convinced.Things cange however, when she meets luke. He not only restores her confidence in her pulling power, but also introduces a whole new side of her personality.

"I wonder what would have happened if i'd met you before Nesta" said Luke as he took my hand and looked deeply into my eyes.

When Luke, the boy thar Nesta has been dating, declares passionate love for TJ, she doesn't know what has hit her. She does her best to avoid him, but when the local schools are asked to wqork together on a project, Luke is chosen as the overall co-ordinator and TJ has no choice but to report back to him on a regular basis. misunderstandings and miscommunications threaten the girls friendships and split them into 2 camps. Lucy and Nesta, Izzie and TJ. Will their friendship survive? and what will TJ's steady boyfriend Steve  make of it all?
