What would the love child of
Cruel Intentions and
Ozark look like? Let me introduce you to the A Banovic series. Los Angeles serves as the backdrop for this twisty drama.
Getting into the prestigious Westwood Academy depends on the size of your family's bank account, or if you're a Banovic, your family has a long lineage at the school. So when our heroine, 15-year-old Adriana Banovic, a child actress whose career has ended prematurely, enrolls for the semester, Chief Bitch on Campus, Astrid Wilson, is not happy. While Adriana wants to lay low, find another gig, and finish high school. Astrid does her best to get her to drop out since getting her expelled is not an option. Hijinks ensue and the hunter becomes the hunted.
Also attending Westwood Academy is singing sensation, Leighann DaCosta (think Taylor Swift at 15 years old). Leighann gives up a successful singing career because she wants to experience a "normal" life. After canceling tours to pursue her desires, she faces swift backlash from angry fans and is the target of the #cancelLeighann campaign. Her world begins to crumble and the only person who can help her has gone missing, forcing her to rely on the Banovics for safety.
The new retelling of the Family Portrait series is dropping soon. As part of the Banovic Series, the first novel features Adriana, the youngest member of the Banovic family as she maneuvers life in the digital age.
