Faye Simons is a smart and sassy eighteen year old girl, and all she wants is a normal life. In reality, her life is anything but normal, being raised and living with her mother, Sarah, who is a con artist, and has moved Faye from place to place her entire life, showing her how to manipulate people, and teaching her there is no such thing as love, life is a big game, so you might as well take what you want from it. But Faye doesn't want that life, and she knows better than to listen to what her mom says. When they move to a small town in New Hampshire, she encounters friendship for the first time. She catches the eye of Julius, one of the richest and most popular boys in town. Meanwhile she happens to catch the eye of a boy on the other side of town, Beau, the towns rebel and bad boy. Will either of the beautiful boys be able to give her what she's looking for, or show her love is real? Meanwhile, what is Sarah up to now? In Faye's journey and senior year, she'll learn the value of friendship and find love and sincerity in the places she least expected it.
