Avery Townsend is a 15 year-old girl  with a penchant for the color blue. Her room is painted blue, her bed sheets are striped with turquoise and navy blue and robin's egg blue, and her lampshades are sky blue.

Riley Barrett is a 16- year-old boy who has everything. A red Ferrari that 'makes the ladies swoon,' parents who are barely at home, letting him throw as many parties as he likes, title of captain of the basketball team...but not a heart. No one has ever known him to do something out of kindness. Yes, he  would back up his friends in a fight- only so they would help him out in another one later. Not that he thought he needed help.

One crisp autumn day, the weekend after the first week of school, they happen to meet. Riley is unsettled by a feeling that he knows this girl... and he makes it his mission to find out who she is. He doesn't know it yet, but this becomes one of his most important decisions of his life, and not necessarily in a good way...
