There are only two main characters that have been introduced so far, Scarlett and Jane, two roommates and best friends who move to L.A to live out their dreams.
The plot is about these two girls and their struggles to fit in to the stylish, high maintenance world of Los Angeles. They meet Diego, who explains to them that L.A clubs are "only hot until they're not". The girls don't understand how different it really is from the lives they used to live.
The crisis currently in my book is that Jane, who moved to L.A for her apprenticeship for Fiona Chen, a very famous event planner. Fiona is rude and stuck up, and treats Jane horribly. Jane feels like she's going to get fired and is extremely stressed about it.
The theme is basically a very chic, crazy way of living. Their lives are completely changing and it takes a lot of getting used to, but the girls love it.
The setting, which is the most important part to me, is Los Angeles, California. I think that this is the most important part of the book because all of the other elements rely on it. If this story took place in Stratford for example, the plot, crisis, and theme would be completely different because it's a smaller town with less to offer than L.A. People in Stratford don't typically care about what 'club' to go to (considering we don't have any) and don't have big event planning companies either. It's a much smaller community and would change the events completely.
