Alicia worries that she could be suffering from anorexia, but Melanie steadfastly denies it. Their friendship begins to suffer, and it isn t long before they re talking to each other like enemies. Fresh betrayal leads to consequences no one saw coming, and Alicia s relationship with Phillip might not be the only thing that needs saving. But is it already too late?"
