Synopsis:
Mansfield, Massachusetts is the last place seventeen-year-old Edie Price wants to spend her final summer before college. it's the home of wealthy suburban mothers and prima donnas like Edie's cousins, who are determined to distract her from her mother's death with cute boys and Cinderella-style makeovers. She's got her own plans, and they don't include any prince charming.
But as she fives into schoolwork and getting a scholarship for college, Edie finds herself drawn to two Mansfield boys strumming for her attention: First there's Sebastian, Edie's childhood friend, and first love, who's sweet and smart and... already had a girlfriend. Then there's Henry, the local bad boy and the all-around player who's totally off-limits- even if his kisses are chemically addictive.
Both boys are trouble. Edie can't help herself from being caught between them. Now, she just has to make sure it isn't her heart that breaks in the process.
Heartfelt and humorous, this charming debut is perfect for fans of To All the Boys I've Loved Before.
