Having a life of one’s own, at eighteen, is not enough for Amelia. Granted, independence, for her, means living in the granny unit behind her mother’s house and having to pay rent there—and having a car that needs repairs, which also must be paid for, and a job where half the time she gets treated like a kid. All she really wants is some life-changing, heart-affecting amazing experience that will give her the ability to write the meaning of life on her walls in blood red, someday. Is it too much to ask?

Instead she spends her days wondering why the most annoyingly perfect girl at work, Desiree, keeps turning around being interesting instead. And how is it that even the most irresponsible people she knows find true love, but she can’t find a date on Valentine’s Day, or even the anti-Valentine’s party her best friend is throwing?

Sure there are boys… like her ex who just tried to jump off a cliff at the coast, or the adorable guy she spent a night with who talked her ear off and disappeared before dawn… but Amelia can’t give up on believing that no matter how complicated her life gets, somewhere along the way, the transformational experience she’s looking for is out there in her Northern California world.

One person keeps coming back to her with equal amounts of dreaminess and collision. Amelia never considered that Desiree held the key, but it turns out Desiree holds many secrets and surprises.
