How did I end up getting talked into swapping lives with my bestie Jazz? God knows that girls life is a mess and now I’m somehow living it.

But even living my boring life, Jazz will always find the time for a bit of trouble…
Will I be able to get back to my orderly life? Or will I prefer the unconventional set up I’ve found myself in?
