Quirky seventeen-year-old Lacey Porter hasn't known a winter in years. Ever since the death of her mother, the cold has been haunting. Because of this, she and her family spend every winter at the beach -- the past masked by the heat. Lacey's comfortable -- she's okay with avoiding winter, okay with avoiding thinking of her mother, and content with sitting around the beach condo and reading a novel...not bothering to make any friends the six years she's spent on Carbia Island. This winter is different, however: there's intriguing Sam -- pun enthusiast and cashier at the grocery store behind Lacey's family's condo. As the two build a friendship, Sam's okay with getting Lacey out of her comfort zone and into the cold.

"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.
