First kisses ruin everything.

Or at least that's how Abigail Lucille Panashe feels. Her first kiss was more than a disaster. So, this summer, sixteen-year-old Abby and her friends discuss potential suitors for the romantic, fireworks kind of kiss she's been dreaming of. It just can't be her best friend, Theo Winthers, because that would be weird. Especially because for the last ten years, Abby and her late Papi imagined Theo accompanying her to the debutante ball.

Problem is, her mother and sister would never allow a dirt-loving, torn-clothes-wearing boy to damage their image in the wealthy town of Blue Silverings. That's why they want their next door neighbor, Hudson Giordani, to be Abby's escort. He is all about polished shoes and velvet suits, but Abby can't face him for a myriad of reasons, a notable one being vomiting all over him. When she runs to Theo for comfort, the ache of missing her father unravels her.

With all the pressure to be perfect, Abby finds herself growing feelings for someone who could destroy her chance of being the debutante princess her father would be proud of. Because kissing the wrong person could have dire consequences.
