Synopsis

If there’s anything Rebecca Walden learned after 4 years of fraternity parties, social climbing, and the occasional college credit, it’s that you CAN put a Valencia filter on your life… but only with a little help from your friends.
2 years after graduation, the girl gang's together again-- but it might be on the verge of collapse. A surprise wilderness retreat with an Instagram Witch might’ve been a bad idea...

If there’s anything Rebecca Walden learned after 4 years of fraternity parties, social climbing, and the occasional college credit, it’s that you CAN put a Valencia filter on your life… but only with a little help from your friends.
2 years after graduation, the girl gang's together again-- but it might be on the verge of collapse. A surprise wilderness retreat with an Instagram Witch might’ve been a bad idea on Rebecca’s part,
But then again, it’s not the WORST idea she’s ever spun into reality.

This is a story about every time you’ve ever looked in a mirror and saw something that wasn’t actually there.
This is a story about wondering if your friends actually like you or not.
This is a story about the witches we know and the witches we don't.
This is NOT a story about Rebecca Walden.
And, yes: I guess in the end,
This is also a story about penises.
