This book is part of the 'Like Real People Do' universe so I'd recommend to read both, though this one begins later than the start of Real People Do.
A few people messaged me and asked me to write Alexia her own storyline so I thought it would be fun to write this book and keep all the other characters (Hunter, Jill etc) in this book!
Tell me what you're already thinking about the characters and playlist and from that have a guess about what this book will be about!!
I hope you all enjoy reading and please leave comments along the way to tell me what you think!
