The Art of Letting Someone In

Penelope is just fine with keeping people at a distance because the-middle-of-nowhere Arizona isn't where she plans to stay, even though it's where she's grown up. Once she finishes one more year of community college, she's off to a proper state school to get her architecture degree, but until then she's stuck here, with a few sorta friends who are way too good at socializing, a younger brother who hogs the television in the den to play video games, a dad who thinks architecture is a pipe dream career and a mom who's ready to throw her at any available man in the vicinity, including her gorgeous new neighbor. But new-kid Kai is still pining after his long-distance girlfriend, which is perfectly fine to Penelope. Because she's not falling for his stupid dimpled cheeks or the adorable way he gets excited about the smallest things, like the art of using chopsticks. Nope, Penelope Jean is not looking for any reason to stay in her town, especially a boy.
