Annalisse doesn't have trouble mingling with society, getting to work on time, or wishful thinking, but the young woman can't seem to please her parents. In fact, she doesn't even know if she's happy with what she's made of her own life, living as a waitress in New York - a city of opputunity, but not opportunity enough for a graduated food enthusiast. Sixteen dollars an hour won't suffice forever. Worse is her mother's incessant nagging, and eventual requirement - Ann must marry, or make a name for herself in the world. Both are troublesome options, but so do Ann's trials, triumphs, and learning experiences begin. Through poached eggs, quite a few manly men, and doubtingly humorous instances does Ann realize that living, at its best, is like an inspired meal, a spontaneously created course. Sometimes sweet, sometimes savory, and always, always, uncharted.

This is not about me. I'm not the main character here. Don't look at me like that. This is about my bestfriend Jill. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I always thought I was a normal seventeen year old girl whose biggest problem was grades and boys. Turns out, I was right. The problem is that I can't say the same for Jill. Ever since the pale and brooding Oliver walked into our lives, Jill has been acting different. She's skipping school, dumped her boyfriend, hanging out with a new crowd and talking about stuff that freaks me out. Not to mention she's on her way to officially defriending me. Suddenly, I'm the plain jane next to my oh-so-special best friend. You know how it feels to become a supporting character in the story of your own life? Not great. So now it's up to me to get to the bottom of exactly what's happening...with some help from Jill's desperate ex. Okay, so maybe I'm a little desperate here too but I don't trust these guys she's hanging out with and I don't believe a word she's teling me. Something strange is going on here and I'm going to put an end to it. Jealous? Me? As if. The typical paranormal romance story...told through the eyes of the forgotten human friends. A story about finding a place for yourself, making and changing friendships, and majorly procrastinating on final exams.
