In this delightfully charming teen spin on Youโve Got Mail, the one guy Bailey Rydell canโt stand is actually the boy of her dreamsโshe just doesnโt know it yet.
Classic movie buff Bailey โMinkโ Rydell has spent months crushing on a witty film geek she only knows online by โAlex.โ Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush.
Faced with doubts (what if heโs a creep in real lifeโor worse?), Bailey doesnโt tell Alex sheโs moved to his hometown. Or that sheโs landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Or that sheโs being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Rothโa.k.a. her new arch-nemesis. But life is whole lot messier than the movies, especially when Bailey discovers that tricky fine line between hate, love, and whatever-it-is sheโs starting to feel for Porter.
And as the summer months go by, Bailey must choose whether to cling to a dreamy online fantasy in Alex or take a risk on an imperfect reality with Porter. The choice is both simpler and more complicated than she realizes, because Porter Roth is hiding a secret of his own: Porter is AlexโฆApproximately.
