Lizzie Davenport has been reborn from Regency England... but she doesn't know it yet. When Drew Carmichael moves into Lizzie's middle school at the beginning of the year, she feels a connection with him, as if they had known each other for a long time. She can't stop thinking about him, but every time she tries to tell him how she feels, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Things get even more complicated when her boyfriend, Jeremy, begins to think too highly of himself after being named captain of the varsity football team, and her flirtatious best friend, Chelsea, starts dating Drew shortly after he arrives. So why can't she forget about him? Even though Lizzie knows that she must forget about her attraction to Drew, her struggle with fate does not get any easier.
