![]() There wasn't even time for Lauren to order a drink - not that she particularly liked decaf soy lattes. ![]() In fact, she was so late that all the other girls already had their venti decaf soy lattes, each cup nestled into a matching pink cozy (designed by Ashley and handwoven by an artisans' collective in Ecuador), and were waiting impatiently to climb the hill to Miss Gamble's school. But she'd overslept that morning and was late meeting the other Ashleys - Miss Spencer herself, plus best friends Ashley "A.A." Alioto and Ashley "Lili" Li - at the Fillmore Starbucks. ![]() Lauren was glad to be back home for the first day of the spring semester. Her mother had determined that they would become part of the international jet set and had spent all of winter break dragging her family to a host of balls and benefits. It was over a month since Ashley Spencer's blowout Super-Sweet Thirteen birthday party, and Lauren Page was still recovering from the excess of that celebration, not to mention exhaustion from her "relaxing" winter vacation in the Italian Alps. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter. She writes regularly for Marie Claire, Gotham, Hamptons, and Lifetime magazines, and has contributed to The New York Times, Glamour, Allure, and McSweeney’s. Her work has been translated into several languages. ![]() ![]() She also wrote The Ashleys novels and Girl Stays in the Picture. Melissa de la Cruz is the bestselling author of The Blue Bloods series and The Witches of East End. ![]()
