In the quiet town of Far Hills, Aimee Copeland navigates a whirlwind of teenage confusion. The local school’s beloved guidance counselor Mrs. Wing abruptly disappears, sparking speculation among students. Meanwhile, Aimee’s own dog, Blossom, unexpectedly has puppies—though they belong to the wrong canine parent. Adding to the turmoil, a new online forum ignites gossip that spreads faster than the school’s rumor mill. Placed at the center of this turmoil is Aimee, who must untangle the truth from the tangled webs of her peers and keep her friendships—and her school—intact before the rest of the month’s uncertainties overwhelm her.
