Introduction

It''s spring break of her senior year and Madison Van Buren is fed up. Stressed over Ivy League pressure, her parents'' marital problems, and her boyfriend''s neglect, Madison gets in her car and drives west. Meanwhile, eighteen-year-old Anna Bronner wants to escape the so-called simple life--which for her consists of caring for younger siblings, sewing, cooking, and gardening--and she''s well aware that her future will simply be more of the same with a man she doesn''t love. Suddenly, worlds collide when Madison and Anna meet in a small town, realize they look uncannily similar, and decide the grass is definitely greener on the other side.
