For seventeen-year-old Ella Perry's case, that was her astounding collection of lip balms. She's kept it safe from everyone in her family for years, and nobody is allowed in her room. Especially her brother and his annoying best friend, Seth. Puberty did a good job on Seth Lee. He's handsome, and he knows it. He's every girl's dream, except for Ella. It's hard for her to notice how hot he is when he's spent his life dedicated to pestering Ella and playing pranks on her. And this time, he's crossed the line by stealing her lip balms. Revenge is the only thing on Ella's mind. But her attempts at getting her collection back bring her closer to Seth in ways she never thought she would. His mysteriousness draws her to him more, and Ella realizes that maybe, he's not that much of an asshole as he seems. Ella starts to question her decisions when she learns about Seth's family, his past, and his deepest, darkest secrets. A friendship gets tested, a promise is broken, and two hearts are forced apart. Will Ella ever get her stolen lip balms back or will Seth steal her heart as well?
