Rosaline Belle Dumont is certainly not the garden-variety, fresh faced teen you see on television shows or in the movies. On no account is she relatable or sociable with a bright pearly smile and first world, petty problems overcame by the last 20 minutes of a motion picture film. Alone, scarred, and slightly insane yet all in one extremely sweet, elegiac, and philosophical, she is just another girl on the sidelines, trying to forget what needs to be forgotten and greet what needs to be made new. But, she can't be a spectator of the life in front of her forever. Rosaline is setting foot into a whole new world, one consisting of experimenting, partying, drugs, love, sex, and Theodore Allen Wilder.
The world is bitter, but it's the small things that sweeten it, and let us forget the way our bones scream from under our skin.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
