Ever since her father's death, Macy Queen has perfected being fine-just-fine. Perfect by association (her boyfriend Jason has the highest GPA in school, is student council president, created a nation-wide school recycling program, and is trilingual), Macy is an expert as concealing what she really feels.

This summer, though, with her taking over Jason's job at the library while he is off at Brain Camp, is looking especially dreary: days spent working at the information desk and evenings spent studying for the SAT or with her equally fine-just-fine mother.

But, to Macy's surprise, unexpected things happen to everyone, even girls striving to be perfect. First it's her job with chaotic Wish Catering, then Wes, her new co-worker who has a less-than-perfect past but who makes her see that flaws can make things better, more reality than dreamworld. He turns her world on end, and helps her realize that "happy" and "perfect" are not synonymous.
