All that really matters, paperback/nicole deese

Molly McKenzies bright personality and on-trend fashion and beauty advice have earned her an impressive social media following, as well as a shiny monthly paycheck.

When her manager-turned-boyfriend tells her of an upcoming audition to host a makeover show for Americas underprivileged youth, all her dreams finally seem to be coming true.

Theres just one catch: she has little experience interacting with people in need.

To gain an edge on her competitors, she applies to volunteer at a transitional program for aged-out foster kids during summer, only the programs director, Silas Whittaker, doesnt find her as charming as her followers do.

But since forfeiting a goal has never been her style, Mollys only option is to accept the terms Silas lays out and submit to his rules--even the most ridiculous ones pertaining to social media.

Soon as the residents of the home become more than a means to pad her career resume, and Silas becomes more than an obstacle on her path to fame, her once-narrow focus expands to include the deep needs of those shes serving.

and perhaps the ones shes neglected inside herself as well.

It took years to build her platform, but only one summer to discover what really matters most.
