The summer that Fay meets Adam at a masquerade party changes her life forever. A quick summer romance ensues, and Fay can't help but think how lucky she is to have found a guy just like her.
But then, when tragedy strikes Adam's life, their relationship begins to fizzle almost as fast as it had started. Fay desperately wants to be there for him as a support, but how can she when he keeps turning to other people? Specifically, another girl?
When Fay discovers something he's been doing behind her back that leaves her heartbroken, she promptly ends things with Adam. From there, she decides to apply for a college course which she gets accepted to and starts in two weeks. However, she doesn't want to spend the last two weeks of summer alone, so she meets James. Her and James hook up nearly everyday, and Fay is glad she's met someone on the same page as her. Just a little fun, nothing serious. She's still upset over what had happened with Adam, so she wants to push it out of her mind.
A few weeks after school begins, Fay realizes how clingy James really is, and how suddenly possessive he's become of her. His unreasonable demands soon become frightening, and Fay is regretting ever meeting up with him. She feels scared, but feels like she has no one to turn to.
That is, until she bumps into Adam at the mall. He tells her that he's missed her and wants to reconcile, so she decides to give him a chance. They talk that night on Facebook, and she confides in him what's been happening with James. Adam tells her that he will protect her from James, and soon becomes her constant companion. Their romance quickly fires up again after some time spent together.
However, James is watching from the sidelines, not too happy about Fay's reconnecting with Adam. He's determined to make Fay his and his alone, even if he has to take drastic measures.

After graduating high school, Jupiter and her two best friends move to a small beach town for college. They are free at last. Free from the soul-sucking reality of high school, free from the watchful eyes of parents, free to do whatever they please. This is the start of EVERYTHING. This is what they've been waiting for for the last four years and it's finally here. Jupiter has always been kind of an introvert, not nearly as outgoing as her friends. Noelle and Diem love Jupiter for who she is and often try to drag her out of her shell. They have known her for a long time. They have met the real her and they absolutely adore her, but Jupiter hides within herself. She is terrified to be judged, rejected, or even looked at. She is the epitome of self-consciousness, while her carefree friends ooze confidence. With the new setting, Noelle and Diem hope to teach Jupiter how to let go and live in the moment. After multiple rounds of Truth or Dare, Jupiter somehow ends up with her first boyfriend, only it's just an act, or is it? Somewhere along the way, the line between what's real and fake starts to fade. Before long she finds herself falling for this stranger she just met, this stranger she could barely stand to be around. Not only does she find herself accidentally in love, but she also starts to gain confidence and stops overthinking everything so much.
