Expect the unexpected.

Macy has her whole summer planned out—working at the library, studying, and spending time with her mother, sharing silent grief at the traumatic loss of Macy’s father. Her plans didn’t include landing a job at Wish Catering, with its fun-loving, chaotic crew. Or helping to renovate the family’s cottage at the beach, left in disrepair since the death of her father. Or Wes, a boy with a past, a taste for Truth-telling, and amazing artistic talent. But Macy soon discovers that the things you expect least are sometimes the things you need most.
