"Mandy and I are NO-Mantics- that means that we get really absolutely no attention from the opposite gender. It's not like we're not interested, it's just never really happened..." When Summer finds herself faced with revenge, she can't help but jump at the opportunity. But when things get tricky, this little no-mantic realizes just how harsh love can be!

Everyone dies, someday and somehow. Sixteen year old Allie is dying of cancer. More than anything, she wants to be a normal teenager. But pretending is exhausting and the lies pile up. With a chance at first love and true friends, Allie must choose between maintaining the pretence or risking everything with the truth. Can Allie open her heart and embrace love?
