When Jaime - newly high-school-liberated girl- meets Gregg - 
beautiful college boy - she couldn't be more smitten. He is a dream 
come true and something about their meeting has the feel of fate.   
They talk about traveling the world, future ambitions and the importance of 
family, among other philosophical issues.  Jaime thinks she has 
met her soulmate and can just hear the chords of Pachelbel's Canon 
ringing in her head. She is beginning to fantasize about their future 
wedding and what they will name their children when he tells her he is 
going to Greece for the entire summer.  Even worse - he is leaving the 
very next morning.
        Jaime finds herself in a romantic funk.  After meeting Mr. Right, no 
boy stands a chance.  All around her, summer romance blossoms 
and it makes her want to puke.  When she discovers an acquaintance has a crush on her - a young man who would've been quite cute if it weren't for the unfortunate uni-brow parked on his forehead -  she gives into the pressure of her best friend and embarks on an 
awkward romance, which has an even more awkward ending.
        Jaime decides she is going to wait for Gregg to get home from Greece, 
and she's going to make him fall in love with her.  She heads into 
battle armed with her the support of her friends and tons of research on how to make a man fall in love.  As time passes and she gets to know him, she realizes that Gregg is less like Mr. 
Sensitivity and more like Casanova, with his belt of many notches. 
        Dealing with disillusionment is not the best time for another guy to 
enter the picture, but he does anyway.  Joey, her younger brother's 
red-headed, glasses-wearing best friend, seems like a major pain in 
the backside - especially when he dethrones Jaime from her reign as 
Queen of Clue.   Underneath his flippant attitude is a charm and wit that 
eventually convinces Jaime that sometimes, real love comes in the most 
surprising packages.

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything.
