At the height of US involvement in the Vietnam War, four young men in Northern California have managed to avoid military service thanks to their interesting political connections--but at what cost? When Benny, the fiercely feminist daughter of a former suffragette, learns her brother has been shipped off to war, she returns home from college to help their family stay afloat.

When she finds that her brother's former employer has been paying their bills, however, she confronts him in an effort to return the debt. Refusing to accept payment, the stubborn British garage owner instead  offers to hire her on at the shop until her brother's return. Working close and feeling closer, Benny navigates life as a woman in 1963, the complexities of love, political and sociocultural conflict, and soon discovers that her boss-and brothers-involvement in the war might be more than it seems.

"What's a sweet woman like you doing here all by herself?" His voice is low and raspy, it's hot. He reaches down and tucks a strand of my hair behind my left ear, waiting for my reply. "I'm not sweet. Go back to your table." I tell him firmly. A glimmer of shock passes over his eyes, it's probably the first time he's been rejected. "Playing hard to get, I like it. I don't follow instructions though." he tilts his head as he speaks. "You're a tough shell to crack, I don't know how to read you." "Maybe that's because I don't want you to read me, maybe my pages are better off hidden." I respond, keeping him on his toes and being completely honest. // Maddison Levine and Harry Styles met one night at a grungy bar, she knows he's too pure for her. She turns him down using every last piece of self restraint she has, she can't have him. But Harry doesn't play by the rules, he knows what he wants and he'll get her at any costs; only he doesn't realise how exactly how much she will cost...
