Chrissy is living large, that is, for a 17 year old. How fabulous to have a summer journalism internship at “Savvy Magazine.” Rubbing shoulders with gorgeous models, high-profile industry icons, movie stars, and good-looking guys, is a dream come true for Chrissy.
Although best friend Lucy is so supportive and loves to hear about Chrissy’s cool journalism internship in the big Apple, New York, at the same time she is also upset about her parent’s divorce.
Chrissy finds it difficult to stay focused on her friend’s personal problems because she is so caught up in her glamorous experiences at and for “Savvy Magazine.”
Befriended by, Jessica, a famous model turned magazine executive, Chrissy puts aside friends and family for glitz and glamour. Chrissy lets the late-night parties, drinking, and flirting with a handsome hunk, Michael Davies, derail her from her personal and family values.
To top it all off each of the four interns, Chrissy included, are given the awesome opportunity to have their own monthly magazine column. But first, they must write a killer story to win over the magazine editor.
Does Chrissy get past her own need to party and hang with the rich and famous? Does her late-night partying cause challenges with her parents at home? Does she abandon her best friend Lucy? Does she write the knock-out story or lose her opportunity because of her own selfishness? Chrissy’s journey and life lessons may surprise you.
