Sixteen-year-old Jess Parker is stuck babysitting her little brother all weekend, which is why she accepts her best friend's dare: to text the random phone number they found written on a lost piece of algebra homework. When the owner of the number texts back, Jess and Max hit it off through their anonymous conversation. The last thing Jess expected was to spend her boring weekend texting the guy of her dreams, and now that she's crushing hardcore on a guy she's never met, she hopes he's actually the guy he claims to be.
