Meet Beatrix Plumb. 16. Budding idealist, full-fledged romantic, chronic self-doubter and divinely equipped to have a regular junior year. But Bee’s on the outs because best friend Kate now has a serious boyfriend and Bee realizes she has nothing. Hopeful dreamer that she is, Bee takes control of her life with a personal Junior Year Manifesto: 1) Be awesome enough to like herself and her life; and 2) Get Owen to notice her. Owen's the high school quarterback she's been in love with since kindergarten.  

 

But when Bee tries to give Owen a carpool ride and inadvertently causes an accident landing him in a full body cast, unable to speak, she pretends to be his girlfriend to save his rep (he’s secretly dating the cross-town rival head cheerleader) and help the team get to State Championship. Things get complicated when real girlfriend Jade gets jealous and Bee falls for Owen's best friend Nick, team punter, son of the football coach, who totally supports Bee’s quirky passion for Appalachian flatfoot hip hop and poetry. Together Bee and Nick make awesome music, but Nick thinks Bee's Owen's girl. The jig is up when Owen comes to and Bee has to undo this mess without letting anyone down.
