It's the summer before grade twelve, and sixteen-year-old Noah Greene is in a great relationship with Miranda Owens, but when Miranda overhears his conversation with another girl, what he says ruins everything. Noah becomes intent on figuring out what harm his words have caused and hopefully become worthy enough for Miranda in time for prom. Along the way, he's been writing a book called The Book of Us and wants to give it to Miranda to prove how far he thinks he's come.
