Description
Meet Bertha (Bertie) Anne Reynolds. She was just starting to transition back to her simple life in Seattle, Washington. It was going to be her and her father (and unfortunately his new girlfriend) against the world again. Or so she thought. Bertie's father was sending her to live with her aunt all the way across the country to Summerville, South Carolina. However unfair (and slightly suspicious) her father's proposal is, Bertie is forced to concede and move to the town, but promises that she won't let herself get close to anyone. She would live her senior year in complete solitude (aside from her aunt, her uncle, and the neighborhood cat, Calvin). Bertie's plan is soon foiled after she arrives in good ol' Summerville and runs into the town’s lone “bad boy”, Collin Wilkins, who insists on getting to know the strange girl who does nothing but push him away. Finally, after a lot of Collin’s persistence, the two become close friends. But as the teens grow closer, feelings start to rise and their true selves are soon brought to light. Each teen begins to learn that the bad boy isn’t necessarily bad, and the good girl isn’t necessarily good. And now their relationship comes down to if each is willing to give up their charade (along with a few other twists and turns in the story as well).
