Magical People

Jessica is tired of her life. Tired of her family, tired of her job, and tired of her string of meaningless one-night stands. When her sister invites her to their grandmother’s birthday party, Jessica reluctantly agrees, hoping for a change of pace. At the party, she meets Alice, her friend’s illegitimate cousin, and is immediately smitten. But Alice is hiding a secret, and it’s not the one Jessica thinks.

As Jessica and Alice grow closer, they discover that they have more in common than they initially thought. Both are struggling with their pasts and trying to find their place in the world. But when Alice’s secret is revealed, it threatens to tear their families apart. Will Jessica and Alice be able to overcome their challenges and find happiness together? Or will their love be doomed from the start?
