Honestly, Brin thought this would be more thrilling. Stowing away in the back of a car, that is. So far she's incurred a bruised butt, what feels like a hundred speed bumps, and a music playlist that made her ears bleed. 

Some Saturday this turned out to be.
                           ___

19 year old Brin Henderson can honestly say she's never ventured outside the town Clearview, except through the novels she devours at the local library where she works, Widgets.

Enter Elliott Mitchell, faithfully occupying a booth nearly everyday for two months. 

Nearing the end of a shift, Brin spots the book Elliott left behind. Returning it proves difficult since her boss has donated it to a library a few towns over.

What happens next is a tale of humour, high jinks and love.

He's into Rachel, an awesome new close friend of his; 2. Rachel is, for some reason, into Cameron as well, and; 3. They're together now, even if they're the only ones who know it. Oh, and they're roommates. (Oh my God, they're roommates.) Now, Cameron has to juggle between maintaining a secret relationship, reconnecting with an estranged family member and an estranged friend, not to mention hiding his "I have a girlfriend" situation from his parents. And also his "I'm into girls" situation. But of course, everything's not fine, even if Cameron pretends it is.
