BFFs for a long time, as she starts to find possible romance
with her boss' nephew Jimmy (Robbie Amell), and animosity
with Amanda Cantwell (Danielle Bisutti), who keep trying
to have Tru fired to remain top fashion diva, but slowly
starts warming up to her competitior. ***
With season two premiering November 14, now is the
time to catch up with the first 13 episodes of season one,
as True discovers that the world she's in now is just like
high school, and she must prove that she belongs at MadStyle.

She also learns the hard way that there must be a line between
business and personal, which almost cost her friendship

every week but remain the best of friends. ***
