Summary from
Goodreads:
Finding true
love on the other
side of the tracks was
never so much fun in this heartfelt and hilarious
contemporary
novel.
Seventeen-year-old
Darcy Covington doesn't know the difference between a pawn
shop and a thrift shop.
Even her dog eats gourmet food, so she’s totally
unprepared when her car
is repossessed from the parking lot of her elite
private school. Turns out
her father, a semi-famous motivational speaker, has
skipped town, abandoning
his family while his business collapses. Even David
Letterman comes up with
ten reasons why her father won’t ever return home.
Desperate to
sell her expensive jewelry for much-needed cash, Darcy discovers
that her dad’s brother
runs a funky thrift shop on a street full of eccentric
characters, including a
coffee shop owner named Liz and one supremely hot
fix-it guy named Lucas.
Darcy finds some
solace hanging out with her uncle and Lucas in the thrift shop
and working in Liz’s
coffee shop, while the rest of her life falls apart. The
time she spends with the
uber hot Lucas helps takes her mind off her family’s
troubles, even though
she’s sure he’s only nice to her because he works for her
uncle, especially when
she meets the cover girl beauty she thinks he’s dating.
Can Darcy find
the courage she needs to adapt to the necessary changes brought
about by her family’s
drastically reduced lifestyle? And will she open her eyes
to the amazing
realization that Lucas wants much more than friendship from
her?
About the Author Lisa Brown Roberts still
hasn't recovered from the
teenage trauma of nearly
tweezing off both eyebrows and having to pencil them in for an entire school
year. This and other angst-filled memories inspire her to write YA books about navigating
life's painful and funny dramas, and falling in love along the
way.
Her almost forever home
is Colorado, though she occasionally pines for the days when she lived within
walking distance of the Pacific Ocean. Her house is full of books, boys, several
four-legged prima donnas, and lots of
laughter.
