Résumé en anglais
For Penny Lee high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she somehow managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn’t actually know anything about her. When Penny heads to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, it’s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she can’t wait to leave behind.

Sam’s stuck. Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a café and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor of an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for when he’s a famous movie director but right this second the seventeen bucks in his checking account and his dying laptop are really testing him.

When Sam and Penny cross paths it’s less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch—via text—and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other.

résumé Fnac:
Penny entre à l'université à Austin, à des kilomètres de sa mère, de ses années lycée, de son ancienne vie, enfin! Sam, lui, est bloqué. Dans sa tête, dans son cœur... Avec 17 dollars en poche et un ordinateur morribond, il a un job dans un café, espérant travailler dans le cinéma. Quand leurs chemins se croisent, ces deux êtres maladroits partagent rêves et angoisses par SMS et feraient tout pour ne surtout pas... se revoir!

J'ai hate de découvrir les péripéties de Penny et d'Austin! 
Bonne lecture à tous et toutes.
