What happens when she can't flip to the last page to see her happy ending?

Option #1: Smart Asian guy with the nice body.
Option #2: Cool skater dude with the nice body.
Option #3: Heartbroken boy with the nice body.

Grace doesn’t have much of a social life and she is comfortable with that. Honestly. Reading books is as satisfying as experiencing life or love, but her roommate puts a stop to that by taking her along for a beach trip. Jenny wants to give her the love story she has always dreamed of by introducing her to her guy friends. At the beach, Grace gets to experience everything she has always read, dreamed of, or feared.

And then she falls for the wrong guy.

What happens when she can't flip to the last page to see how everything ends up?

*~*
This book is inspired by Vanessa Carlton's "White Houses."
This draft is really, really rough. So give me any comments and critiques :)
