Matthew's dream is to be a writer. Too bad he's the only one who seems to see the potential in himself. During his senior year of high school, Matt is beginning to feel the pressures of his dreams closing in around him. Still, he has no idea how he should go about being a writer at all. That is, until his English teacher-the intolerable Ms. Castro-informs him that he will be tutoring a sophomore by the name of Lexi O'Reilly. Suddenly, Matthew finds something worth writing about. As his writing makes its way around the school, life begins throwing Matt for quite the loop. His new girlfriend has become distant, his friend Kat turns and runs at the very sight of him, and his boss-world-renowned author Sheldon Craig-is still being a total douche bag. Just when everything was beginning to fall into place, it's slipping back out again and falling to pieces. Meanwhile, Matthew is simply trying to do the right thing to fix it all. The trouble is, he hasn't quite figured out what that is yet.
