The last thing Molly wants to do is spend the summer on her mother’s honeymoon in Boulder and  Charlie could care less about Los Angeles.  But, a fateful summer spent occupying each others’ rooms during their families’ house-swap brings the two closer than either had allowed themselves to become previously.  Seen from both teens’ perspectives, their relationship unfolds through emails and IMs as they open up to each other about their lives and fears:  Charlie’s relationships with women are shaped by sharing a home with two moms and two sisters, and Molly struggles to accept her mother’s remarriage after the death of her father.  -John Andrews
