When Lexi's brother, Charlie, hears that musician Adrian Wildes is missing, he insists on taking a road trip to find the elusive rocker. Lexi decides to go along, and so does their neighbor Zack. Being stuck in a car with Charlie—who disappeared from her life when he started dating the horrible Penelope, only to reappear as a grouchy couch potato when they broke up—is the last thing Lexi wants, but it means getting Charlie out of the house for the first time in months.Besides, Lexi could use the distraction. The recent breakup with her boyfriend, Seth, has left her bitter. With a long stretch of lonely miles ahead of her, Lexi starts to recall pieces of their relationship and realizes that, with Seth, she became one of those girls—the kind that get wrapped up entirely in a guy. Seth had a goal, he reached it, and then he blew her off. Now all that's left is a blaring red rage—and the person whose help Lexi needs the most might as well be blind.As Lexi, Charlie, and Zack's trip unfolds, they uncover more than just clues about where Adrian Wildes could be. Like the real reason Charlie has been so withdrawn these past few months. Why the smell of chlorine makes Lexi completely shut down. What the words no, thank you mean. And if broken girls can put themselves back together again.
