Plot summary
Alexia Wheaton is eighteen, popular at their high school, and dates Kyle Harding; her schoolwork gets no effort from her. Hayley, her fifteen-year-old sister, keeps to herself and is strong in science and math. The two share a house and a school but not much else: Hayley depends on Alexia for a ride and Alexia would rather not be seen with her. Hayley also has a crush on Kyle. One night, while Alexia soaks in the hot tub with Kyle, Hayley watches the sky for a science assignment and wishes on a shooting star that she could be Alexia. In the morning the sisters find themselves in each other's bodies, and Hayley admits the wish was hers.
