River Robertson hates Washington with a capital H. River Robertson hates the cancer that took her mother's life with a capital H. River Robertson hates Calvin Marcus with a capital H. Okay, so maybe the last one isn't completely true. ------------------------------------------------ River Robertson is shipped to Steilacoom, Washington after her mother passes away due to untreatable brain cancer. And she hates it. It's always raining, it's too small compared to her beloved city of New York, and her father acts like nothing is wrong. Along with that, her new friends are certifiably insane, she makes an enemy for simply existing, and the boy she thought she would hate turns out to be her best friend. Can things get any stranger in Steilacoom? Yes. Yes, they can.
