Ridley is faced with a moral dilemma: Should he tell Jubilee the truth, and will their love for each other withstand their parents’ mutual hatred? The story alternates between each teen’s endearing narration. Soon Ridley’s forced into spying on Jubilee’s comic artist stepmom by his father, who wants to buy out his enemy’s shop. Fate intervenes when the two teens meet, and an awkwardly endearing first night together leads to something more complicated. For 17-year-old anxiety-ridden Ridley, the annual comic convention means more torturous time as a brand ambassador for The Geekery, his emotionally abusive father’s infamous comic store chain known for putting indie shops out of business.

Of course, that proves difficult thanks to her upcoming big audition for a summer program at the Carnegie Conservatory, where her young career as a cellist might blossom further. With her fabulous best friend, Jayla, by her side, 16-year-old Jubilee tries her best to let go and give in to new experiences, per some encouragement from basically every adult in her life.
