You say it first is not your typical romance novel. It follows two teens, Meg and Colby, who could not be more different. Meg has got her whole life in order: she’s got the cute boyfriend, the supportive bestfriend, the good grades and an extremely busy political agenda. Colby, on the other hand, has already graduated highschool and doesn’t really know what he wants in life. Nothing feels the same, himself included, ever since his dad died.

Neither Colby nor Meg, the unlucky volunteer at WeCount that night, could have foretold what that phonecall would set in motion.
