"Lucy Clark has had it. After being bullied one too many times, Lucy retaliates. But when the fallout is far worse than she meant it to be, she gets sent to Manhattan to serve as a full-time companion to the eccentric Edith Fox. Edith is glamorous and mysterious; nothing like Lucy expected--there's one other thing about her that makes her unlike anyone Lucy has ever met--she thinks someone is trying to kill her"--Provided by publisher.

In the two years since the death of her father, Eva has read over a hundred romance novels, taking refuge in knowing the stories will end with a romantic consummation, avoiding the romance-not-guaranteed real life that has become so painful. That pain is eased by Will, a senior boy with whom Eva falls in love, but then Will's family moves from New York to California. Eva's best friend, Annie, suggests a road trip, on which the two girls have adventures that usher them into adulthood.

When she falls for a boy who moves to California without any warning, sixteen-year-old Eva and her best friend, Annie, set off on a road trip to the West Coast to see him again, confronting the complex truth about love along the way.
