In attempting to cope with the night’s events, Zoey ‘hooks up’ with Brandon, ignoring his player rap in order to gain some normalcy in her spiralling life.īut then things get even weirder. Furthermore, Zoey’s dad doesn’t want the town knowing about her mum’s attempted suicide – he doesn’t need any more gossip added to his tabloid life - and has therefore forbidden Zoey from talking to anyone about the ordeal. Zoey’s dad has taken custody of her, but doesn’t intend to postpone his and Ashley’s Hawaiian elopement (or take Zoey with them).
And then Zoey came home to find her mum half-dead, having left a suicide note and swallowed a bunch of sleeping pills because she couldn’t cope with it all. Zoey and her mum have been living in an apartment complex, having good days and bad days, highs and lows in the wake of the divorce. Her parents got divorced and her dad kicked Zoey and her mum out of their beach-front house in order to start his new family. underneath it all Zoey is a hairsbreadth away from following her mum to the loony-bin.įor starters her family fell apart after her dad got a perky twenty-four year old Slide with Clyde employee called Ashley pregnant.
Zoey has started dating her good guy friend, Brandon and she is swim captain. Her father owns the local waterslide park, ‘Slide with Clyde’, where all her friends work over the summer. Controlled, meticulous Zoey is quickly losing her grip on the all-important details of her life-a life that seems strangely empty of Brandon, and strangely full of Doug. Did she go parking with Brandon, like she planned? And if so, why does it seem like Brandon is avoiding her? And why is Doug-of all people- suddenly acting as if something significant happened between the two of them? Zoey dimly remembers Doug pulling her from the wreck, but he keeps referring to what happened that night as if it was more, and it terrifies Zoey to admit how much is a blank to her.
Feeling like her life is about to become a complete mess, Zoey fights back the only way she knows how, using her famous attention to detail to make sure she’s the perfect daughter, the perfect student, and the perfect girlfriend to ultra-popular football player Brandon.īut then Zoey is in a car crash, and the next day there’s one thing she can’t remember at all-the entire night before. Like darkly handsome bad boy Doug taunting her at school. Like Zoey’s fear that the whole town will find out about her mom’s nervous breakdown. Like how her father has knocked up his twenty-four- year old girlfriend.
