When Daisy Fay's summer love, Jamie, moves halfway across the country to be with her, it seems like true love. He is sweet and romantic and attentive. Being with him makes her realize everything that's lacking with her longtime boyfriend, Tom. But Tom gives her something Jamie can't—status at her elite East Eggerton Academy and approval from her family. How can she possibly choose between the two? As she tries to balance Tom's temper and Jamie's ever-increasing control, she realizes that maybe the choice isn't which guy she'll choose to love but what she'll risk to choose herself.
