Lyla Grace Brown is your typical All American Girl. Full of sickly sweet charm, southern hospitality, and a natural knack for sweet talking, Lyla's spent her life doing what everyone around her wants her to do. Whether it be helping her dad organize events for her families church, or wearing some stupid dress just to make her invasive mother happy, Lyla always swallows her pride, and her sanity, to be a good girl.
She's a good girl, she always has been. But lately a voice in her head's been telling her that bad girls have a hell of a lot more fun.
Meet Lilith King, the voice, who doesn't take shit from anybody, and never has. She's been a rebel ever since the day she was born, which makes sense considering the fact she was born out of wedlock, which was the scandal of the century in her mom's small conservative community. When her parents decide to move back to their hometown of West Granby to raise Lilith's new baby sister, she forms a plan and sticks to it. Get in, tolerate her mother's rules, and get out.
Lilith has no intentions of planting down any roots whatsoever, but when a breath of fresh air named Lyla soars into her galaxy, Lilith's solar system suddenly has a new center.
Over the course of one life changing summer, Lyla and Lilith's very different songs intertwine and blossom into a fascinating, funny, and swoon worthy duet.
But will Lyla let her faith and fear of disappointing her parents get in the way of her feelings for the new girl in town?
Will Lilith put aside her fears of commitment and vulnerability for a gorgeous girl who just so happens to be the preacher's daughter?
Buckle your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen, this might get interesting.
"Cassie," Aaron says. "I have detention. For two hours."
My mouth drops open.
"Fuck me," I groan.
"Sorry," he smirks. "But you're not my type."

Cassandra Parker isn't looking for male attention; she just wants to make it through her last year of high school at Hilltop High with her two friends, Gracie and Gabs.
But when she makes a deal with her parents to wear more gender tailored clothes, she is officially placed on the radar of almost every male at her school, including Aaron Brewer's.
Aaron Brewer is a player in almost every sense of the word, sleeping with girls and then dropping them the next morning. All that changes when he meets Cass, who doesn't fall at his feet like the other girls.
They grow closer, sleeping--innocently--together, partaking in almost-kisses and a variety of other things, but when a secret is revealed to Cass by two of the most important people in her life, loyalties are tested and boundaries are crossed as a person from her past infiltrates her present and threatens her future.
