Jeden Sommer verbringt Charlie bei ihrem Großvater auf dem Land. Jeden Sommer versucht sie vergeblich, die Freundschaft der mürrischen Rose und deren Freunden Luke und Dave zu gewinnen - besonders die von Dave. Und jeden Sommer verbringt sie stattdessen mit ihrer Gitarre, übt und schreibt neue Lieder. Aber dieses Jahr ist es anders: Zum ersten Mal schwimmen sie und Rose zusammen, reden, lachen. Und auch mit Dave kommt sie sich immer näher – Dave, der so ist wie ein Song in Dur. Aber will Rose wirklich Charlies Freundschaft oder hat sie ein ganz anderes Ziel im Blick?

Senior year is over, and Lucy has the perfect way to celebrate: tonight, she's going to find Shadow, the mysterious graffiti artist whose work appears all over the city. He's out there somewhere—spraying color, spraying birds and blue sky on the night—and Lucy knows a guy who paints like Shadow is someone she could fall for. Really fall for. Instead, Lucy's stuck at a party with Ed, the guy she's managed to avoid since the most awkward date of her life. But when Ed tells her he knows where to find Shadow, they're suddenly on an all-night search around the city. And what Lucy can't see is the one thing that's right before her eyes.
