After experiencing the loss of her mother, 15 year old Graciela Hansen, a strong-willed, kind (maybe a little shy) and creative girl moves into her grandparents house along with her 11 year old sister, Lily Hansen and her father, James Hansen.
Being new in town and in school, she hopes that she will have a successful fresh start that can help her emotionally and physically. However, her determination is challenged when she faces the cruelty of ending up at the bottom of the school's social ladder, getting bullied by the school barbies and possibly revolting the school's heart-throb, Will Everett.
Though it may seem like she has it bad, Graciela finds comfort when she works in her grandmother's famous Ambury Cafe. Being greeted by wonderful costumers, walking around in the sweet aroma of the Cafe and working with her crush, Eric Fields. She is happy with living two different situations in her life, but what would happen if those situations had morphed into one huge situation? Like Will Everett working in the same cafe? A lot can happen in cafe hours.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
