Delightful.
But if anyone can do it all...it\'s Alaine.
It\'s a lot to handle, without even mentioning that Alaine is also working for her aunt\'s nonprofit, which sends underprivileged kids to school and boasts one annoyingly charming intern.
Suddenly, the secrets Alaine\'s mom has been keeping, including a family curse that has spanned generations, can no longer be avoided.
