If image is everything, does what's real even matter?

By senior year, wannabe chef Sutton "Mac" MacNabb should have learned how to read. Instead, school's turned him into an expert on bad grades and girls. Mac's impression of a guy who's happy to be going nowhere in life is almost as flawless as his recipe for soufflé.

Merci Danielson has it all: beauty, brains, personality, and parents who are accomplished French chefs. But underneath Merci's carefully-crafted public persona lies a disability, and self-doubt, that no one would ever suspect.

When school and a connection to cooking force Merci into Mac's classes, his kitchen, and his life, the two seemingly polar opposites attract on a level much more real than either of their reputations.
