Grade Level:
Vivienne Vail Valentine, or V as she is known, is a recently graduated high school senior,
enjoying her last summer before college. Her past is kindled with a poor mother figure,
no father figure, and a habit of hooking up with guys and breaking it off after two weeks.
That is, until she meets Sam Almond, a boy who tugs at her heart and makes her rethink
her opinions on relationships.
