When Melodieâs glamorous parents split up, all she needs is a friendâbut can Elaine be there for her?Â
Elaine Zuckermanâs parents are definitely not glamorousâher dad does something boring with computer chips, and her mom is a dentist whose office is in their house. Theyâre nothing like her friend Melodieâs family. Melodieâs mom, Constance King, is a beautiful Broadway star, and her dad, Trevor Ashford, has a thrilling British accent. Even Melodieâs name is glamorous! And Elaine would trade her oblivious older brothers for Melodieâs little sister in a heartbeat.
But glamour wonât keep Constance and Trevorâs marriage together or make them stop fighting in front of their daughters. And Elaine isnât sure how to help the friend whoâs always had everything, especially when the Zuckermans get caught in the middle.
What will it take for Melodieâs parents to behave like the grown-ups theyâre supposed to be?Â
