Bookroo's summary

Victoria's summer takes a twist when she meets Jazzy, her neighbor's granddaughter. Desperate for friendship, she invents a twin sister to cover a misunderstanding. But when Jazzy decides to stay for the school year, Victoria faces a dilemma: reveal the truth and risk losing her friend, or continue living a lie. As the stakes rise, Victoria must navigate the tangled web of her own making. Will she find the courage to be herself, or will her deception unravel everything?

From the publisher

Victoria Adelman is lonely. Her best friend has moved away, leaving her to spend the summer alone. One day, on her way home from a bat mitzvah, she meets Jazzy, her next-door neighbors’ granddaughter. Tori hopes her friendless status is about to change.

Later, in her garden, she meets Jazzy again, but Jazzy doesn’t recognize the filthy, smelly girl as the one she met earlier. In a moment of insecurity, Tori tells Jazzy that the girl she met before was her twin sister, Vicky. Tori is sure she can fake being that girl in the dress—it’s only for two weeks.

But then Jazzy announces she’s staying with her grandparents for the school year. Tori needs to figure out what to do: come clean and lose her new friend, or live her life as a fake.
