Burned by an ex-boyfriend and rejected from her dream school, aspiring artist Lily Collins has arrived for her first year of college in New England looking for a fresh start. But falling face-first onto the stage during freshman assembly is not exactly what she had in mind. It does, however, attract the attention of Ryan Parker. The hot lacrosse player, who already has a reputation for being popular with the ladies, is exactly the type of guy Lily wants to avoid this year. She let herself get blinded by love before and refuses to let that happen again.

But eventually, first as friends, then as more, Ryan becomes the lead in all of Lily's stories. She can't help but fall in love with him. She finds her place with him and at school, finally feeling content in life.

Until out of nowhere, it all falls apart. Lily is left to pick up the pieces and put her life back together. But years later, when she runs into Ryan again, she is left to wonder what happened between now and then, and if the questions she seeks answers to will change the past, as well as her future.

Sophie Connelly is the type of girl to settle down. She doesn't see the point in being with someone and not seeing a future with them.

But she started to forget about that when she met the guy she believed she would marry one day, a year and a half later. Sadly, he cheated on her, leaving her to feel broken beyond repair. Not only that, but after a year of them being separated, he still decides to make her life a living hell by constantly showing off his new girlfriend to her whenever he can, despite them going to different universities. All Sophie wants is to make him feel as hurt as he makes her feel, and luckily for her, the school's star hockey player is willing to make that dream come true. Sean Hollister has been special his entire life. He has a raw, natural talent for hockey, which makes him stand out from his brothers and is a perfect target for his dad's desire to have a son whom he can shape into a mini him. Still, Sean doesn't feel or act as if he is a "star" with major potential. Yet, that's not where his problems end. Due to his skill, Sean is a pretty well-known figure across campus and is very popular whether he likes it or not, and because of this, he finds himself stuck talking about a girlfriend he doesn't have whenever girls try getting with him. Unfortunately, those stories came back to bite him in the ass, and now he's stuck trying to convince an extremely stubborn girl that he's not available. So when he finds out that a pretty girl needs help getting revenge on her ex, who happens to be on the school's rival hockey team, he jumps at the opportunity to help.
