Seventeen-year-old Emmy Clark keeps control of everything in her life from her perfect GPA to her Ivy League-worthy resume, yet the one person who always seemed to pull her out of line was her childhood best friend, Grayson King. So when Grayson moved away after his parents' messy divorce last year, Emmy convinced herself it was for the best and forced herself to forget the unfailing friendship she had with the rock-and-roll boy-next-door. Until Grayson makes an unexpected appearance at his mother's remarriage and all of Emmy's tangled feelings about him come rushing back in what she thinks is the only night she'll ever see him again.
But for reasons Emmy can't figure out, Grayson is back for good--living at the house next door, working at the family restaurant in town, playing the guitar until three in the morning, and getting under Emmy's skin like he never even left. And even when he's driving her crazy, Grayson seems to be the only person who can keep Emmy from falling apart. Soon, she's left with her heart pulled in two different directions: does she continue to hate the boy who left or let herself fall in love with the boy who came back?
