Have you ever wanted to have a cute, older boyfriend, but knew it would never happen? That's what Lucy thought until she meets Tobin, the junior everyone wants to date. And when he and Lucy begin to date, Lucy must decide just how far she wants the relationship to go. But, her best friend is jealous of her new relationship and is unavailable to talk to about it.

Adding to her newly busy life is her older brother Jack, whom she idolizes and who comes home from college with his pregnant girlfriend. When he doesn't want to assume responsibility for the baby, Lucy is shocked to realize her older brother is not everything she thought he was.

Lucy handles the pressure well, and learns something about love and life in the process.
