prologue

After dumping her first real boyfriend after graduating high school, Sam is ready to grab life by the balls. Tired of being the "cute one", and not ever the sexy one, the "little sister type", and never the badass, she sets her sights on doing one brave thing before the summer ends, kissing James. The way-out-of-her-league college boy, who just happens to be her ex's friend home for just the summer.
Dealing with failing friendships, all but absent parents, slut-shaming, and what it really means to be "that type of girl", Sam vows to break out of her shell, even if it kills her.
