Emma Jacobs is like any other Californian girl who is only trying to survive high school. She’s happy with her group of friends, her brother and his wife, Caroline, and her secret talent. Emma can sing, and every Friday, she does just that. However, Emma is too shy to sing in front of anybody that may recognize her from school, so she drives to the next town over and performs every Friday at The Seaside Café. Emma is happy with her double life until there’s a bump in the road and her two lives begin to overlap just because of one boy who just so happens to work at the café. How will Emma keep her secret when the whole thing depends on Jace Parker, the school loner. And how can she keep the secrets of her demented past in the past if he is determined to pry into her history? Surely, all of her problems come back to The Seaside Café.

Caroline Allen and Aaron Jacobs had been best friends since the first day of kindergarten. Inseparable from each other up until middle school, when Aaron got into football and started to climb the social ladder. Caroline was sad that she was losing her best friend, but she couldn't stop him from being happy, so she accepted that her friend was moving on and she needed to as well, until something changed. Not only did Aaron stop being Caroline’s friend, but in order to keep his place in the popular crowd, began bullying her, along with the rest of the jocks. They would make fun of her weight, which was above average until she made herself sick. Now, in their junior year at high school, nothing has changed. Aaron is with the popular crowd and still bullies Caroline and because of it, she became anorexic and changed everything about herself. When will the bullying stop? Will it ever? And will Aaron ever see how much damage his words actually cause?
