Gottie H. Oppenheimer, a 17-year-old physics prodigy, navigates grief, love and disruptions in the space-time continuum in one very eventful summer. Gottie feels like her world is falling apart. Her beloved grandfather Grey died and Jason – the boy to whom she lost her virginity and heart – is acting all cool and distant. Then the former boy-next-door, and her former best friend, Thomas, arrives for the summer. And she starts slipping into time warps.

Seventeen year-old Sloane Munster is funny, feisty, and scarred. Starting a new high school after a serious car accident, she meets the gorgeous but distant Luke, who seems repulsed by her. The chemistry between them sparks a growing connection set against a background of guilt, secrets, and mounting tensions at a school where bullying is rife and Sloane is not the most deeply scarred person.
