Bett Devlin and Avery Bloom don’t have a lot in common. Bett lives in California, loves the water, animals, and taking chances. Avery lives in New York, is a bookworm, has many anxieties and fears, and loves schedules. What they do have in common is their dads. Both are being raised by single fathers - who fall in love with each other and decide to send their daughters to the same summer camp so that the girls can become best friends. Things don’t go according to plan. Bett and Avery do become friends, but their fathers break up - and the girls go from plotting to keep their dads apart to finding ways of bringing them back together.
