About The New Girl: Billie Carver #2
Billie Carver never imagined leaving her beloved New Orleans and moving to Boston, Massachusetts. But when her paternal grandmother, Josephine Carver, welcomed her with open arms, she knew her life was about to change. As she settled into her new life, Billie discovered she now belonged to the prestigious Upper Crust of Boston, thanks to her father’s family. But with this new world came new challenges, and her older half-brother, Truman Carver, would be her trusted guide.
Just as Billie was adjusting to her new life, she met three young ladies who were also members of the Upper Crust. While Rebecca Dubois became her friend, Bridget Jackson and Jasmine Carter saw her as a threat and became her rivals. As Billie navigates the treacherous waters of high society, she must also contend with the complicated, intriguing relationships among these three women.
When she reunites with her older brother, Willie, and her younger half-sister, Nina, she hopes to find a sense of belonging. But it’s through her brother’s friend, Drew Anderson, that Billie finds her place as she forms friendships with Drew. Billie’s relationships with her family shift and evolve. But with these newfound connections come unexpected challenges and conflicts.
As Billie settles into her new life, she also meets Iris Mathews, a journalist from Nashville who becomes a close friend. Georgia Stern, a bartender at the hottest gay bar in Boston, catches Billie’s eye and tries to win her heart. But things become complicated when Sadie Zimmerman, Iris’s best friend, feels threatened by Billie’s presence and begins to fear losing her friend.
Amidst love, friendship, and rivalry, Billie must navigate the challenges of her new life and confront her fears and doubts. But will she be able to stay true to herself in a world that may not always accept her?
