When seventeen - year - old Bailey starts a new job at a hotel waterpark , she is less than thrilled to see an old acquaintance is one of her coworkers . Bailey met Charlie a year ago on the long flight to Omaha , where she moved after her parents’ divorce . Charlie’s cynicism didn’t mix well with Bailey’s carefully well - behaved temperament , and his endless commentary was the irritating cherry on top of an already emotionally fraught trip .
Now , Bailey and Charlie are still polar opposites , but instead of everything about him rubbing Bailey the wrong way , she starts to look forward to hanging out and gossiping about the waterpark guests and their coworkers—particularly two who keep flirting with each other . Bailey and Charlie make a bet on whether or not the cozy pair will actually get together . Charlie insists that members of the opposite sex can’t just be friends , and Bailey is determined to prove him wrong .
Bailey and Charlie keep close track of the romantic progress of others while Charlie works to deflect the growing feelings he’s developed for Bailey . Terrified to lose her if his crush becomes known , what doesn’t help his agenda is Bailey and Charlie “fake dating” in order to disrupt the annoying pleasantries between Bailey’s mom and her mom’s new boyfriend . Soon , what Charlie was hoping to avoid becomes a reality as Bailey starts to see him as not only a friend she can rely on in the midst of family drama—but someone who makes her hands shake and heart race . But Charlie has a secret—a secret that involves Bailey and another bet Charlie may have made . Can the two make a real go of things…or has Charlie’s secret doomed them before they could start?
