~complete~ Charlotte is as sweet as a strawberry. She's the kind of person who will drop everything just to help you, just to put a smile on your face. She's as sweet as the sugar that constantly runs through her bloodstream, and as excitable as the rush that comes with it. And then there's Benjamin, who's as sour as a lemon. The last thing on this Godforsaken planet he wants to do is acquaint himself with her. While Charlotte is kind and caring, he's rude and vulgar, while she's friendly and innocent, he's crass and mean. So how in the hell is that going to turn out?

For Jessalyn and her mom, moving to the small town of Avondale, California seemed like the perfect decision; they wanted the new scenery but what they really needed was a new start. Jessalyn Hartley had always been shy and one to keep to herself, but now, as she enters her final year of high school at Crestview High, she's more determined than ever to stay hidden in the shadows. However, all of that may change when she crosses paths with the supposed bad boy; Cason Michaels, and figures out that maybe she just had to meet the right person to break her out of her shell.

He's her new annoying next door neighbor and she's the oddest girl he has ever encountered. Dannie Hale is not your average girl. She's weird. She's athletic. She's lacking in the common sense department. And she went through one hell of school year that has left her scarred for life. Seth Parker is your average Cali boy. He's good looking. He can surf. His ego is the size of the moon. And he's made it his job to figure out the puzzle named Dannie Hale. Summer break has arrived and it's time for life to reveal what plans it has made for these two very special people.
