Fresh out of a relationship, the last thing on Julia's mind is diving into a new one. That is, until she meets someone who might sway her decision.

Sadie Sawyers just wants to get through life without embarrassing herself-or proving to her family that she's "mentally stable" after last year. A job at Krispy Burger brings messy coworkers, spilled shakes, and August: the infuriatingly charming boy who always seems to find an excuse to talk to her. But August has his own reasons for being distant-an abusive home and a desperate plan to escape. As their friendship slowly turns into something more, Sadie must confront the past she's been running from, while August searches for a way out.
