Meet Cassie Marshall. Just your average 17 year old girl. Its her senior year, and she has decent grades, a small, but close group of friends, and she's... well, awkward, ...... and antisocial. Her idea of a fun Friday night includes some youtube videos, Netflix, pizza, and sweatpants. If she's feeling really wild and crazy, she might even throw in a Sarah Dessen book! Sounds totally fun, right? I mean sure she's never had a boyfriend, and yes, she's never had her first kiss, but who needs that when you have Nutella? Unfortunately her friends think her Friday nights of fun should be replaces with parties and "priceless" high school memories. Like who even needs that? Not only that, but they are also convinced she needs a BOYFRIEND! As in a human of the opposite gender that she has to spend time with, voluntarily. Ummmmm, HELLOOOO? Have they ever even met her? Against her will, they start to drag her our of her tiny teenage turtle shell. She didn't think she would enjoy it, and she's not saying she does, but it's not half as bad as she imagined. As she starts to explore more of the world around her, she discovers part of herself she didn't know existed, and possibly someone new along the way.
Emma and Vivian spend their summer at a new camp to help out a friend, only to discover that it's a dating camp and they both have to pretend to be single!

Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding (and Gwen's aggressive advertising), the entire camp is using Emma as a mascot because she's "single". Emma and Vivian decide to let the situation play out to help Gwen, finding a new thrill in keeping their love secret. Soon, though, things get out of hand as they start making each other jealous, and someone online is working to destroy their relationship (and the entire camp)! Can Emma save the camp, her reputation, and the only relationship that's ever mattered to her?
