Clove Daniels' parents couldn't decide on whether to name her Chloe or Love, so they combined the two. She's as sweet as her name but has spent most of her life being shy and intimidated by her own skin that's dotted with continents of white patches; a condition called vitiligo.
However, on February 17th, Clove will be seventeen, celebrating a once in a lifetime event known as a Golden birthday (when the date of your birth coincides with your age). Clove has been looking forward to this day for as long as she can remember. Plans have been made, invitations sent, outfits picked and hair has been flawlessly done.
Unfortunately, Clove's world comes to a screeching halt when a drunk driver changes her life forever. For weeks, she goes without talking, unable to fathom how things could go so terribly wrong for good and kind-hearted people. It takes the selfless acts of her three best friends to comfort and love her through one of the most challenging times of her life. Each of them have their own way of reaching out. But there's only one she keeps coming back to: JJ, the boy she's known for most of her life. As her heart mends, it also begins to bloom in love. Does JJ feel the same way? Is he falling for Clove or being the best friend he's always been?
