James Carter was always the boy with the geeky looks but the personality of a superstar. Girls never gave him a second glance and he was always thought of as the friend but never anything more. He always had his best friend Sophie, who conveniently lived three doors down, and his tight knit group of friends to keep him grounded. But what happens when James goes studying abroad in France for 8 months? When he returns with his new looks and new attitude will things still be as they were before? When hes fast tracked into the world of popularity can he keep his grip on what was there before he left? And dont forget the friends he had since primary school, will they still be as they were 8 months ago or will they have moved on without him?

Gemma Burton got sucked into yet another painful family vacation with her Aunt and Uncle Schmitt. Only this time, it's international. Gemma and her brother, Danny fly across the ocean to no place other than London! She expects this vacation to be no different than the previous ones; an indefinite amount of photos, stereotypical tourist attractions and numerous embarassing moments. But much to her surprise, that's not all that happens during her two week stay in London. William Rickman happens, making this a vacation she won't soon forget.

My friends told me that if you can't get a girl to fall in love with you after 30 days, either you're hopeless or she's not the one for you. I fell in love with Emma, and decided I had to make her fall in love with me... Little did I know how much of a challenge that was going to be.
