Andie has a plan and she always sticks to the plan. Future? A top tier medical school. Dad? Avoid as much as possible (which isn't that hard considering he's a Congressman and never around). Friends? Palmer, Bri, and Toby - pretty much the most awesome people on the planet, who needs anyone else? Relationships? No one's worth more than three weeks. So it's no surprise she's got her summer all planned out too. Until a political scandal cancels her summer pre-med internship, and lands both her and Dad back in the same house for the first time in years. Suddenly she's doing things that aren't Andie at all - working as a dog walker, doing an epic scavenger hunt with her dad and maybe, just maybe, letting the super cute Clark in closer than expected. Palmer, Bri and Toby tell her to embrace all the chaos, but here's the thing ...can she?

Andie lo tenía todo planeado. Cuando eres la hija de un político y te has criado prácticamente sola, aprendes que todo puede ser organizado. Especialmente tu futuro. ¿Un periodo importante de prácticas? Hecho. ¿Amigos increíbles? Hecho. ¿Chicos? Hecho (siempre y cuando no hablemos más de tres semanas).

Taylor Edwards family might not be that close - everyone is a little too busy and overscheduled, but for the most part, they get along just fine. Then Taylors dad gets some devastating news, and her parents decide that the family will spend on last summer together at their old lake house in the Pcocono Mountains. Crammed into a place much smaller than they are used to, they begin to get to know each other again, but as the summer progresses theyre more aware than ever that theyre battling a ticking clock. And as Taylor tries to deal with the drama at home, she is faced with the fact that the friends she thought shed left behind havent actually gone anywhere. Her former summer best friend is still living across the lake and still as mad with Taylor as she was five years ago, and her first boyfriend has moved in next door but hes much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve. Can one summer be enough time to get a second chance - with family, friends, and love?
