This book is about a girl named Laurie Stratton, how she finds out she has a twin, tries to find her, and the problems that ensue. The characters are the kids from school, Laurie's boyfriend Gordon Ahearn, her next boyfriend Jeff Rankin, her best friend Helen Tuttle, her brother and sister Neal and Megan, her parents, and her twin sister Lia.
Laurie starts out by telling how every girl has that special summer in which she changes from immature girl to young lady. The past summer was the one for her.
