Mia seems to live an ordinary fun loving life, but the face she puts on everyday is very misleading compared to her actual life 
It's so hard for her to even feel slightly comfortable in her own skin, so it's even harder for her to make friends. It's already hard enough with her being the laughing stock of the family.
 At this time in her life she really needs someone who will come into her life and stay there. Not someone who will come into it, destroy it, and then leave her there trying to put back the pieces that she didn't even have to begin with.
Mia yearns for that someone, whether it be a friend or the love of her life. How will this dream even become a possibility when she can barely hold a conversation with her mom? 
Watch what happens when Mia stumbles upon the kid in the back of the classroom that's always quiet and never talks to people, but is praised for his good lucks and followed around by a group of girls everyday trying to be with him.

Mia's summers kind of suck. The main problem is her parents' divorce, well, the custody agreement mainly. Her parents both love her so much that neither of them wanted to let her go. But neither parent loved her enough to stay in the same country. Which has her flying from Estonia to Italy and vice versa every, single, Monday. It's pretty difficult making friends when you're not even around for more than a week at a time. It's the second summer with this arrangement, but this year, there's a difference, every week Mia notices the same boy, on the same flight. And every week like clock work he notices her too. Elliot doesn't know what he wants to do with his life, after graduating he's left with two options, go to university and study architecture, or take a shot at a racing career. His first pick will always be racing, he's got the talent, he's got the drive, and he's got the support. But that life is far from easy. And now that he's preparing for his first season in Formula 3, he's realizing just how hard it is, having to fly between his home and his team's base in Italy every week. He's got one summer to decide, before it's too late, and he has no time for distractions. And yet, the universe seems to give him one, a girl, every week the universe shows him the same girl on his flight, and every week the universe takes her away. Elliot needs to get this girl out of his head, before he makes the wrong choice. Elliot and Mia have one summer. One summer, two countries, two choices, one flight.

Eighteen-year-old Iris Howell thought she was living her best life until those two pink lines showed up on the pregnancy test. In a flash, all her future dreams went up in smoke. Ten years later, she's now a single mom to a rambunctious little girl who has become her world. It wasn't easy having to grow up so quickly without the support of her high school sweetheart, but she's doing her best. Dating was the furthest thing on her mind, but her best friend still insisted she sign up for a dating app to see if Mr. Right Now was out there somewhere. Little did she know, one of her first matches would be Monty King, her high school boyfriend's older brother. She can't deny her attraction to him or how he makes her feel, but she knows this is a mess just waiting to happen. Montgomery King may have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but that wasn't the life he wanted to live. He never fit in with the lifestyle his upper-class parents tried to force him into and he never got along with his lazy brother who was more than happy to lazily mooch off the family dollar. He took the first chance he could to join the military and do something better with his life. His years in the military are well done and he's still avoided his family and their money-hungry ways until his company relocates to his hometown. The only good part about the move is reconnecting with Iris Howell, even if she is his brother's ex-girlfriend. Iris isn't looking for a relationship and certainly isn't trying to find herself tied down with another King brother and she has good reason not to. However, Monty is making it his new mission to show her that she was with the wrong brother before.
