Due to the California drought, Lee West's family well has dried up. Wanting to be where water still comes out of the tap, Lee moves to her sister's in Berkeley for her sixteenth summer. Big sister, Emilee, tells Lee that Moby Dick saved her from their racist, homophobic hometown. Lee, afraid she'll end up like Mom, married at the end a Smith and Wesson barrel, becomes obsessed about Moby Dick. When she returns to The Ville, Lee's torn between making a dance out of the novel for Porterville's Got Talent (her ticket out of town) and a passionate, purity-wearing, eco-warrior, David, who wants Lee to devote herself to a more important cause, i.e. saving the Central Valley from climate change, not frivolous modern dance. What starts out fun slides into double-barreled torture.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
