She's 20 and a little immature. Probably because she's spoiled by her grandma. Her mom left her when she was young with her grandmother and she's been raised by her since she was eight. Annabelle wants to leave Edelweiss because she's sure she'll die of boredom there. Her best friend is Charlie Wolfe, and she's also friends with Evangeline Hawke.
He's 21 years old, very handsome, and outgoing. His best friend is Annabelle Lee, and they both learned how to sing in church as kids. He loves football, playing the guitar, and his old dog Juno. He works at the Nighthawk diner with Annabelle as a cook.
Nick moved to Edelweiss for the summer to "find himself." He only plans on staying there for a short while but changes his mind when he meets Annabelle. He's a famous author but writes under a pen name, so no one knows who he really is.
Nick is secretly rich from the book royalties, but he doesn't think much of it because he was born rich in Manhattan. He prefers being alone, is indecisive, and is socially awkward, but once he gets to know someone he'll have no problem being the loudest person in the room.
Evangeline Hawk is pretty but she doesn't know it. She met Annabelle in middle school when she moved to Edelweiss to be with her father. Evangeline's father owns the Nighthawk Diner, and she plans on running it fully when he gets older.
She wants more than just the diner and when she meets Nick she starts thinking of life outside of town too.
Cash loves anything to do with fashion. She moved to her uncle's place in Austere to become in actor, but she never got any roles in anything major. She works at a music store and gets money on the side by doing people's hair and nails outside of her in-home salon.
Cash had to find her self-confidence because she never felt pretty growing up, and discovered it through fashion. She teaches Annabelle that she can do the same as well, to find something that makes her feel confident.
Austere is a fictional large city. Many of the cities are fictional equivalencies of real life places. Austere is supposed to be Atlanta, Georgia.
Another fictional equivalency of a real place. Las Estrellas is supposed to be Los Angeles, California.
Edelweiss is a small village, named after the white flowers that surround it. It's not clearly mentioned which state it's in, but I like to think it's in Alabama.
