Charlotte Black was completely and utterly perfect. She was captain of the softball team, popular, a 4.0 student, and drop dead gorgeous. Most of all, she was straight. Lemon Hatfield was not. She was introverted, unpopular, gay, and lacked one athletic bone in her body. For Lemon, Charlotte was unattainable, the girl everyone was crushing on but nobody could get. Everything changes when Lemon spots Charlotte working at a McDonald's an hour away from their school. This makes Lemon question everything she thought she knew about Charlotte and her seemingly perfect life. As she discovers more and more about Charlotte's struggle, Lemon learns to never judge a book by its cover, and that things aren't always as they seem.
