Marlowe Wurthington had spent every summer since she was six in Beechwood Island. Home of the Perfect Sinclair family.

Every summer the Wurthington family would vacation to France- until they didn't.

One summer. One compass. No chill. Briar "Bee" Covington had three goals this summer: surf, rescue sea animals, and mind her own damn business. Too bad the Pogues had other plans. After crashing into their world of boat chases, shady guys with guns, and a mysterious compass linked to something way too serious, Bee finds herself caught in the middle of everything. There's JJ-reckless, ridiculous, and infuriatingly hot. John B-hiding more than just secrets. And Kie, Pope, Sarah-this squad has more issues than sunscreen in their eyes. Bee didn't sign up for any of this-but if they're going down, she might as well look hot doing it. Welcome to the Outer Banks. Hope you brought snacks.
