About
Mallory Baxter lives a perfect life filled with perfect straight lines inside of a perfect house. She has goals. She has aspirations. And she has a father who’s convinced her she has to be a machine if she has any hopes of amounting to anything.
Jay Dawson is chaos incarnate, in Mallory’s eyes. He lives the life of a drifter, unconcerned with straight lines or aspirations. He takes things day by day. So when he shows up at Stella Cucina, ready to start his summer job, Mallory has to face a reality where the perfect, straight lines that she’s always held onto no longer matter.
Will Jay be the variable that finally overrides the system and teaches her how to be human? Or will Mallory’s straight lines lead her to her goals, away from the town of Emerald Bay, and out of Jay’s life for good?
