Niyi Omobowale has everything any teenager would ever want. She is beautiful, intelligent, and with extremely wealthy parents who would do anything for their first daughter. In addition, she attends Achievers' High School, the most elite school in Lagos state, where she is admired by almost all of the other students.

Bolaji Akinwande is one of the most popular boys in AHS. Handsome and aloof, he draws the attention of almost every girl in the school by simply existing. When his friends dare him to date Niyi as a prank, Bolaji uses her insecurity as a weapon against her, spinning a web of lies that Niyi eagerly eats up, which leads to her being torn between going out with a guy she likes, or ignoring her heart out of fear of Amanda, Bolaji's queen bee ex-girlfriend. In this teenage and young adult novel, 'Sola 'Sanya leads teenagers through processes of laughter, heartbreak, and discovery, as they journey through the struggles of teenagers that they ultimately fall in love with.
