      Let's talk about sex
    • Skončila škola, a to nejen na dva měsíce prázdnin, ale navždy. Tiffany a Kayla jsou volné, což je přesně to, po čem vždycky toužily. Ovšem teď je i po létě, a to znamená, že je čekají těžká životní rozhodnutí. Tiffany doufá, že její dobrovolná práce v místních novinách povede k něčemu více, ale její šéf se jí chystá dát tvrdou lekci o tom, jak se nestát sentimentálním reportérem jako on. Rodiče Tiffany nikdy nepoznala a doma se kupí problémy s jejím nemocným dědečkem. A do všeho se objeví Davey. Hraje ragby, ale taky cituje zpaměti Trumana Capoteho, a je první kluk, který ji touží opravdu poznat a porozumět její citlivé duši. Tiff je nesmírně chytrá a racionální a zřídka podlehne svým emocím, ale v jednom krátkém týdnu zjistí, že slova ne vždy dokážou vyjádřit všechny věci ukryté hluboko v srdci.
