Sometimes life doesn''t go according to plan. My summer was planned from packing lists to trip itineraries. Or so I''d thought.It''s the night before my trip abroad, and my boyfriend Matt showed up to a party with another girl. The boyfriend I''m supposed to spend seven weeks with in Brazil.No way can I board that plane.With my trip tickets ripped up and the money down the drain, I owe my parents big-time. The only job hiring is Teed Off!, the driving range that just-so-happens to employ Matt''s trio of best friends.Matt''s friends don''t like my presence on their artificial turf, so pranking me becomes their second part-time job. They definitely don''t want me winning the bonus money our boss is offering for an idea to improve the business.By chance on a summer night, Matt''s head crony best friend Aidan is there for me when no one else is around. Turns out, he and Matt haven''t been close for a while. Aidan begins to see through to the real me-the me I''d kept from Matt to be the person I''ve always longed to be-popular with a boyfriend, all according to plan.Now I have a new problem. I''m falling for the enemy.

Sometimes being the good girl means everyone loses. When my parents sentenced me to geriatric exile in a sleepy beach town for the summer with my grandparents, I tried everything to stop it. I''m the good girl. The straight-A student and the newly elected co-captain of my high school track team. Only my sister Grace ruined everything. Grace, a rebel with a party girl reputation, insisted I join her at a party on her graduation night. All to be her designated driver. Too bad I only had a learner''s permit-and crashed her car. Oops. Now, I''m in deep trouble with my parents and the court. My punishment means I''m trading team runs for scrubbing toilets at my grandparents'' Lake Michigan coastal inn. Any free time is used up working service hours at the local community center to show the court I deserve a driver''s license. Then I meet Will. He''s cooler than I could ever hope to be with dyed black hair and piercings. He finds me on the beach and we talk through sunset. I need a friend right now and Will is here, listening. Only he''s a bad boy and that spells trouble. But Will isn''t as he seems. His bad boy image hides deep hurts I''m only beginning to uncover. Time with Will feels like an escape. I might actually make it through this summer. The trouble is, I''m falling for Will, and I have secrets of my own. If Will finds out what really happened the night of the party, we''ll lose everything we''ve built.
