The narrative is a first-person account of Tanya's life, her twin sister Natasha, and their upbringing in a wealthy family. They were born to a successful businessman father and an ex-supermodel mother from France. As children, they were exposed to the beauty and culture of France, which Natasha found fascinating. Tanya, however, was more captivated by the language and culture.
Natasha's parents were overly ambitious for her, pushing her to participate in various pageants. By the time they turned five, Natasha's face was on every cereal box in the country, making her famous. However, she was also arrogant and mean to others, especially those who worked for the family.
Their parents were often away on business trips, leaving Tanya and Natasha in the care of others. Tanya was particularly close to their father, who would occasionally slip her extra gifts when everyone else was asleep.
When they turned 16, their parents threw them a sweet 16 party. Tanya's father had made connections with a modeling agency in LA and introduced them to his old friends. One of these friends was Ryan, a drop-dead gorgeous boy who was also joining their school. Natasha was immediately smitten with Ryan, while Tanya was more reserved.
Ryan was a good friend to Tanya, helping her with her school musical. However, Natasha was jealous and tried to prevent Tanya from getting close to Ryan. This led to a fight between the two sisters.
One day, Ryan's car had a terrible accident, and Natasha was seriously injured. While Natasha visited the hospital, Tanya was left to take care of their parents. Tanya was anxious about Ryan's condition and was unable to keep in touch with him.
Tanya won a writing competition at school and was offered a scholarship to a playwriting school in France. This was a dream come true for her. On the last day of school, Tanya ran into Ryan, who was happy to see her. Natasha, however, was furious with Tanya for winning the competition and for being friends with Ryan. Natasha accused Tanya of using Ryan and warned her to leave him alone.
Tanya left for France, and when she returned, she saw Ryan again. They had a heartfelt conversation, and Tanya confessed her feelings for Ryan. Ryan, however, was heartbroken and told Tanya that it was too late. Tanya left for France again, planning to return and maybe go for dinner with Ryan.
