It was a personal belief of mine that cliques weren't real. You know, fake, non-existent, whatever.
I mean that in the sense that anyone can be part of a clique, anyone can be friends with the Populars or the Nerds, even. It just takes perseverance and a whole lotta guts.
Note: it was a belief of mine. The keyword here being 'was'.

Hazel Woods is very open-minded, well, she likes to believe so anyway. It so happens that the cause of her open-mindedness stems from the fact that her group of friends consists of one Popular, one Nerd, one Cheerleader, a Wild and Other (herself).
Her reasoning goes that if all these people from all these cliques can be friends, then anything is possible. And she means anything (well, humanely possible that is).
So when a minor argument turns into an all - out war between the two biggest cliques of all, the Populars and the Not, Hazel is granted a spot on either side.
The question is, which side will she choose?

*****
On the last day of their class's college trip to Paris, Mira and Jake get tangled up in a debacle that causes them to miss their flight home to New York. Which means they're stuck in Paris until the next available flight that's 24 hours away! Mira is witty and a lover of art history and good cheese. Jake, on the other hand, is your All-American frat boy with a killer smile. Translation: they can't stand each other.
As they visit places they could never have imagined, Mira and Jake go from mortal enemies to star-crossed lovers with sizzling chemistry. But can their spark last without Paris' cheese and charm to keep it going?
