High-school sophomore Wren, an artist with dreams of studying in France next year, meets senior Nolan at a Metropolitan Museum of Art gala (her father is museum director). Wren and Nolan fall hard for each other, and Wren's priorities fall away. Despite underdeveloped, credulity-stretching subplots (e.g., Wren's fifteen-year-old friend is sleeping with a thirty-something world-famous artist), many teens will connect with Wren's infatuation.
