Anna wants to stay away from the enemy, but their dogs keep pulling them together.
[a teen spin on 101 Dalmatians ?]
Newly-adopted-puppy-mom Anna Jenson's facing her worst fear yet: control slipping through her perfectly manufactured life. So when she gets an offer to work at an animal shelter three-thousand miles from home, she's all in. And she's bringing her beloved King Charles Spaniel with her.
To ensure that her summer vacation goes exactly the way she wants, she's "schedulized" everything to the max. But there are some things that even a carefully color-coded planner can't predict. It can't predict her best friend and her longtime crush together. (Naked, might she add). It can't predict her dad finding a woman that isn't her mom. And most importantly, it can't predict her budding relationship with the Dalmatian-owning, enemy-turned-something else (?) boy next door, Ryder Reyes, who harbors some deep secrets of his own.
As Summer flies by, Anna begins to yearn for things she's never wanted in New York: freedom, love, and solace. And when drama hits the Californian coast, Anna and Ryder must set aside their sharp-tongued quips and comebacks for each other to fight the greater problem at hand. With over a hundred shelter-dogs on the line, Anna's faced with the underlying question: how will she find homes for all these dogs, when she hasn't found one for herself?

"When you lose someone who use to be your everything it's like if the sun was to collapse or all the oxygen in the air was to run out. You don't think you can live without it and in fact you can't, because you become so immune to it, that there isn't life without it. I guess that's what happened when he left. "
