Summary
Sophia Laforteza is a journalist who has been stuck in a researcher position for ‘The Riff’, one of the biggest pop culture columns in L.A., for the last four years. She has tried every trick in the book to climb the corporate ladder, but none of it has worked. With living expenses rising and her salary staying the same, the rope is starting to tighten around her neck. That is when, after a vague comment, her best friend Megan showed her an ad: FULL-TIME DOG SITTER NEEDED.
Sophia almost laughed out loud, until Megan explained that this wasn’t just any regular dog-sitting position. It was a dog sitting for a burned-out pop star who had decided to move to the middle of nowhere after a nasty divorce from one of Hollywood’s top actors.
A lot of theories came out of the divorce: cheating, mistreatment, substance abuse, insanity. Nobody really had the answer. Joshua Abrams had come out the other side as the golden boy he had always been perceived to be, but Daniela Avanzini? She just vanished from the public eye.
How much would Sophia’s life change if she could find out what happened?

Summary
“Shauna’s dead in your world, and you’re alive,” Misty bulldozed over her stuttering. “Yet here you’re dead, and Shauna’s alive.”
Her breath left her body, eyes unfocusing as the realization began thrumming through her veins. The idea had been there, obviously, that she’d woken up in some parallel world to her own. Shauna’s ghost visage, who’d yet to reappear, said as much in her own cryptic way. She was evidently supposed to see Shauna again, which she thought meant she was about to die.
And maybe she did.
Her hand came up to her chest, feeling for her own heartbeat. It was there, steady and clear. Wherever she was, Jackie Taylor was alive, and whatever world she’d been zapped into had a living, breathing Shauna.
A Shauna without a Jackie, it seemed.
or
A remarkably lonely Jackie Taylor crashes into a much more appealing 2021 than her own.
