Molly Barlow ha fatto uno sbaglio, e il suo nome è Gabe. Pur di allontanarsene, Molly ha lasciato la sua città, Star Lake, e ha detto addio al suo mondo. Ma non poteva stare via per sempre. E quando, dopo aver passato l'ultimo anno di scuola lontano da casa, torna per l'estate, è evidente che nessuno ha dimenticato quello che è successo. Il comitato di benvenuto non lascia speranze: la sera stessa del suo rientro, Molly viene accolta da un lancio di uova contro casa, la sua migliore amica non vuole avere nulla a che fare con lei, e i suoi amici la evitano. Senza contare Julia Donnelly, la sorella dei due ragazzi a cui Molly ha spezzato il cuore. Con lei... è guerra aperta. Molly vorrebbe scomparire. Per fortuna mancano solo 99 giorni alla sua partenza per il college. Allora sì che potrà gettarsi il passato alle spalle e ricominciare davvero tutto daccapo. Le cose però non sono mai semplici e, nonostante Molly faccia del suo meglio per nascondersi, Star Lake è troppo piccola per pensare di passarvi inosservata, o per non imbattersi ancora nei fratelli Donnelly. 99 giorni. Solo 99 giorni per affrontare le conseguenze delle proprie azioni, correggere gli errori e scoprire sulla propria pelle che ci sono dolori difficili da superare e scelte impossibili da fare.
