After a string of failed relationships, college senior Oakland Fuller goes to a therapist and a psychic for help. She's stunned when both women tell her the same thing--she's got unresolved feelings for her high school boyfriend, Seth. Problem: Seth hasn't talked to her since she dumped him on prom night and he's not responding to any of her online messages.
Desperate to rescue Oakland from a pathetic holiday break of sitting in front of the computer, her best friend, Morgan, books the two of them on a guided excursion of Thailand. Morgan isn't sure if Seth is the key to everything or not, but either way destiny can wait two weeks.
When the girls meet a pair of American soldiers named Tyson and Jed in Bangkok, one thing leads to another and Oakland finds herself having a hot holiday fling. Just what she needs to stop obsessing about the past. But right when Oakland gets cozy with Tyson, she sees a familiar head of blond hair across a crowded temple complex--it's Seth! Somehow her high school boyfriend is in Thailand too. If that's not a sign then what is?
When Oakland breaks away from the tour group to look for Seth, Morgan and the boys insist on coming along. What follows is a whirlwind chase across the country. But as the group grows closer in proximity to Seth, Oakland is growing closer emotionally to Tyson. Is she really following her destiny? Or is she running away from it?
Filled with romance, bromance, friendship, and gorgeous faraway settings, THE KEY TO EVERYTHING is a story for anyone who's ever dreamed of finding love when they were least expecting it.
