Fifteen-year-old Indigo Summer's world finally seems to be going in the right direction: She hooks
up with the star linebacker on the high-school football team,
gets a date for homecoming and makes the high-school dance
squad all in the same week. But sometimes things are just too
good to be true. After football star Quincy Rawlins abruptly
dumps her for a girl who is willing to put out, Indigo's popularity
and self-esteem take a nosedive. When her perfect world falls
apart, Indigo turns to the one person who seems to have his
head on straight—her next-door neighbor, sixteen-year-old
Marcus Carter. The problem is, now that Indigo realizes what a
great guy Marcus really is, so does someone else.
