Once upon a time, in the peaceful town of Hamilton Heights, (the lower heights) there were two shops that coexisted next to each other.
A bakery, and a florist shop.
I, your narrator and protagonist, live above the florist shop while my mother in question, owns the shop.
This sad story however, is not majorly surrounded about me but about the huge rivalry between my mom, the florist, and Lucille Flynn, the baker next door.
For some unknown reason, they have hated each other for as long as forever and due to this unfortunate hatred, that could only mean that their children aka me and a sub human named Wilder Flynn automatically have to hate each other.
So, imagine when in a funny flip of fate, these two enterprises are forced to work together on a wedding and these two warring teenagers are suddenly relegated to the thirdwheel of their respective friend groups.
If you thought disaster, then you deserve a skittle for that correct answer.
Although of course, I wouldn't describe it as a disaster because that would be an understatement of the year.
What I would call it would be chaos and that is indeed what it eventually turned out to be.
A chaos of feelings, flavors, flowers, relationships and secrets.
When a laid back and rudely gorgeous city girl comes for her farmer's market crown, Sabina's dream of joining the family honey business is threatened - and her heart may just get stung too.
***
Now that she's graduated high school, Sabina is ready to join her family's honey business, but her parents are convinced that there's no future for her in her small town. They're set on sending her to university, which she knows will be less fun than getting swarmed by angry bees. To prove that her place is on the honey farm, Sabina plans to impress her parents by winning the Best Vendor prize at the summer farmer's market.
Her quest for the sweet prize gets sticky when a pretty city girl steals her table at the market and doesn't even feel bad about it. Mel's family has been the enemy of Sabina's for generations, and now this otherwise easygoing girl seems determined to continue the feud by beating Sabina to the Best Vendor prize. The competition would be no problem for Sabina... if Mel wasn't also gorgeous and maybe even a little funny.
Sabina didn't plan for feelings, and if she gives in to the temptation she may lose her honey farm dreams. But Mel's love might be the one thing sweeter than honey, if she can avoid the sting.
