Avery Jennings was always known as the quiet, shy, nerdy blonde girl with large black rimmed glasses, and brains you'd kill for. She liked keeping to herself, meaning her list of friends was basically nonexistent. So when she gets blamed for a crime she didn't commit and there's no one to fight for her freedom, she gets sent to Juvie for six months and her life is flipped completely upside down. She missed the last four months of school, and all of the summer. She got out just in time to start senior year. Only this time she wasn't going back to the school she'd known for years, no, she was moving all the way across the country.
Once she's away from her parents, who so cruelly disowned her and gave her aunt Judy full custody, she flies from New York, to the great California. She's finally out of Juvie and she realizes, what the heck, new country, new town, why not new life?
So she changes everything about herself. She drops the glasses, dyes her hair, buys a whole new wardrobe, and even changes her attitude. But what if along the way she meets a certain someone who will show her just how fun life can be? Someone who breaks her completely out of her shell, not leaving any traces if the girl she used to be?
Then there's Drew, the badass of the town, yes town. Everyone knew who he was. He played girls, he was allegedly in a gang, he was the kind of boy a father would never want his daughter to even meet. He's got problems only he knows about and he wants to keep it that way, but when a nosy blonde girl snoops through his yard and sees something she wasn't supposed to see, he forces his way into her life to make sure she keeps her mouth shut, but he ends up actually becoming friends with her.
So what'll happen between the two? Will they stay friends or will she find out the real reason he showed any interest in her and ditch him? If so, will she ever be able to forgive him for it?
