The world doesn't owe Jeremiah "Jay" O'Connor any favors, but Lexie Bradshaw does. In a weird twist of events, instigated by an amateur geriatric coven, one of them being his grandmother, Jay finds Lexie's 'Vent Book' and the answer to all his prayers.
In exchange for keeping her secrets, she promises to "date" him, introducing him to the elite circles at their high school. With his grandmother foisting sweetheart candies on him, even chasing him down the road in her walker, things are going from weird to I-know-what-you-did-last-summer.
Lexie isn't Ms. Snob-in-stilettos but something more than he bargained for. As his new popularity grows, his emotions unravel and he finds himself hoping for something more with Lexie. That is, if he can stop his grandmother and her friends from interfering.
Can life be as sweet as candies even under the heat of the circumstances?
Or turn upside down into a sticky mess?
