Brooklyn Reed, a newly transferred senior, had always struggled with finding her place, especially when it came to friends. Whereas some might've been excited about a fresh start at a new school, she was terrified that she was going to relive her old experiences. While dealing with memories of her past, she tries to change her personality and become "basic" by hanging out with a totally different crowd of people. Follow her as she learns that her weaknesses don't always define her, the past doesn't always stay in the past, and that art isn't actually lame.

She isn't the favorite girl of the school, not to mention his friends, and she doesn't show any interest towards him, but he has to try. The girl with the mysterious ways has got him wrapped around her scarred little finger. Not Andy Being the girl with no friends is never easy- especially when you have major trust issues and problems that can only be discussed with a shrink. That's why instead of slowly letting people into her life, she chose to shut them out completely. It seems easier that way, which is until she moves to Bangor, Maine and catches the eye of Cole, the football quarterback and heart throb of the school. He makes her feel things that she didn't think we're capable, and he shows how to make a bad situation into something semi-tolerable. It gets her thinking that maybe cliche boys with secrets aren't such a bad thing. During their 17th year, Andy and Cole must face the problems of high school, social hierarchy, their pasts, relationships, trust, friendships, and even love. Both of them knowing that stories like this never happen to kids like them, but they're willing to try anyway.Complete
