It’s 2009. Lauren henderson runs the school. Not socially. Theatrically. She’s a sophomore with one goal: to be famous. Not casually. Not someday. Immediately, preferably with a spotlight and a standing ovation. She’s intense, perfectionistic, and absolutely convinced she’s the most talented person in any room. The thing is… she might actually be right. Most people find her exhausting. Lauren finds them unworthy.
