New Girl Chronicles Book 2

In New Girl Chronicles: Book 2, Maya is no longer the new girl—she’s finding her rhythm, her people, and her place in the world. With freshman year behind her and summer stretched out like a blank canvas, Maya and her best friend Brielle create a Summer List: a pact to make memories, chase adventure, and live boldly.

But as the summer unfolds, reality complicates their plans. A new neighbor, Lucas—quiet, musical, and mysterious—stirs feelings Maya didn’t expect. Meanwhile, Brielle struggles under the weight of growing family responsibilities. As Maya dives deeper into her art and a budding friendship with Lucas, cracks form in the once-unshakable bond between the two girls.

What follows is a season of growing pains, missteps, late-night confessions, and ultimately, healing. Through murals and music, tears and forgiveness, Maya and Brielle learn that growing up doesn’t mean growing apart—and that real friendship is painted in both bright colors and deep shadows.
