Welcome to Hawthorne High, where popularity is the passport to coolness, and fitting in is practically a school rule. Standing out like a neon sign is Ember Moore, a fiercely individual goth rebel with her eyes set on an exciting future in investigative journalism.

In her old school, Ember's edgy style barely made a ripple, but at Hawthorne, her jet-black hair and combat boots are like a rebel yell in a silent library. Friends are few and far between, but for Ember, flying solo beats being just another face in the crowd.

Then there's Brady Watson, the intriguing new guy with a killer charm that has the whole school buzzing with his athletic prowess. From the first moment, he's captivated by Ember's fiery spirit and her fearless nonchalance. Try as he might, Ember's fortress of indifference is harder to crack than any of Brady's previous encounters.

But Brady's not one to give up that easy. He hatches a daring plan when he discovers his friend Keith's secret crush on Ember's sister, Willow. Willow can't date because of her parents' strict rule: she's only allowed to date once Ember does – a rule seemingly safe from being broken, given Ember's total lack of interest in the dating scene.

Brady proposes a pretend date to Ember, a crafty way to get around the sisters' dating rule, opening the door for Keith and Willow. But while it starts as a ruse, Brady has no intention of having it remain that way.

Will Ember let down her guard and allow this pretend romance to become something more, or will her independent spirit keep Brady at arm's length? The line between fake and real blurs in this heartwarming tale that shows love can bloom in the most unlikely places.
