Noah has never been the type to express his feelings. It isn't that he doesn't want to, the poor guy just can't. He freezes up at the thought of telling his best friend, Emily, he has loved her the moment they met each other. But when he finally gains enough strength to show his feelings, they are definitely not reciprocated. Then suddenly the cliché best friend romance is twisted into the reality of crumbling friendships, surprising revelations, and a certain red head just trying to help Noah through it all. If only life was as simple as clichés.

From being named Blake because her parents were expecting a boy, to walking in on her dad "wrestling" with her mother's sister. But when Blake's house gets damaged from a hazardous flood and they tear her house down brick by brick when they find a severe mold infestation, her life is about to pass the level of Awkward when they move in with her mom's current boyfriend and his insufferable son who just so happens to be her school's notorious star player -- and not just in sports. Blake's situation probably wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a history between the two, and she will soon realize that not only will her past reveal itself, but so will the secrets kept hidden around her.
