' Maybe it was the attraction I was starting to feel for Jack, the comfort I felt in that house or simply the desire to let the truth out, knowing he had seen right through my failed attempt to dodge his question. I decided to tell him, in a few words, how exactly was my family. "Some of them are lovely. Some of them are selfish and prefer to pretend I don't exist until I'm right in front of them. Some of them talk behind my back and appear before me with a smile in their faces, unaware I know what they truly think of me. It's kind of like having friends, right? Either way, they're all far away from me except for my mom. She's one of the lovely people, though, so it's fine."' Annastasia is a 17-year-old girl who's one year away from graduating high school, lucky enough to meet her favorite writer's son, Jack Miller. Lydia is her 47-year-old mom, divorced, who finds herself being charmed by a handsome stranger. Anyone who sees them walking down the street or going out for breakfast on a Sunday morning might think they're the typical mature mother and foolish young adult daughter, but "typical" is the one word that doesn't fit into their description. Why do we assume people's personalities based on their age, anyway? What will happen when Anna meets Jack? And who's that charming man who's flirting with her mom?!
