Remy can't help but feel that her mother has trapped herself again. Barbara and Don get married, but only a few weeks after the wedding, he is caught having an affair with Patty, his secretary. As Remy and Dexter part ways, there is both drama and good news in the Starr household. Just before Dexter is about to tell Remy he loves her, he overhears Remy saying that she sees Dexter as just a summer fling, nothing more. Despite Dexter's sweet nature, Remy can't totally shake her old ways. For Remy, who sees everyone around her delusional in love – her mother, Don, her friend Lissa who has adored all of her boyfriends, even the absolute losers. Remy is startled by Dexter's emotional honesty and sweetness. Her friends Chloe, Lissa, and Jess don't understand what Remy is thinking when she chooses not to break-up with Dexter on her usual schedule. However, Dexter is persistent, and as he continues to woo her, Remy realizes that she can't stop thinking about him. For cynical Remy, who rehearses her thorough break-up speeches with would-be boyfriends after a few weeks of casual dates, Dexter is all wrong. Dexter is not Remy's type at all – he's social, a little awkward, lanky, and incredibly romantic. The action begins when Remy meets Dexter, a musician in a local band called the Truth Squad, at Don's car dealership. Remy and Chris are hopeful that this marriage will also be short-lived. He is a bizarre man, who collects violent and sexually explicit artwork and leaves pyramids of empty Ensure cans scattered around the house.

Because of that, Remy has taken an opposing view, choosing to break up with boys after only a few weeks dating or at the first sign of anything slightly off-color.

The book begins with news of Remy's mother's impending fifth marriage to a man named Don Davis. The book takes place the summer before Remy leaves for college, and as the novel progresses, Remy learns not only how to trust her boyfriend Dexter, but also how to trust herself enough to finally let herself fall in love.
