"Welcome to the cruel world of Trevor McNulty. No matter how hard he tries, this seventeen year-old just can't get a break. And with all of the chaos swirling around in his head, girls are the last thing he cares about. But that changes when he meets Bea Stewart, a rebellious rich girl with problems of her own. As he tries to navigate through his first real relationship, Bea takes center stage, and the chaos starts to fade. Then, just when Trevor thinks his luck is finally changing, Evelyn Stewart enters the picture. And Bea's beautiful, yet seriously miserable mother, quickly turns his not-so-dreamy life into a complete nightmare. While he is desperate to save his relationship with Bea, Trevor learns that nothing in his world can be saved--unless he first saves himself."--Back cover.
