Returning to Willow Bay after six years was supposed to be simple. Saltwater, sunsets, and the same old summer house. But nothing feels the same anymore. Noah Rivers, the boy who once knew every version of me, barely looks me in the eye. Julian Hale, the new boy in town, sees me like I'm the whole ocean. And the old journal I found under my bed? It holds a sealed letter I wrote six summers ago a letter I never meant to open again. Between forgotten memories, new feelings, and a truth I'm too scared to face... this summer might change everything. Soft romance. Slow burn. First love. A summer you won't forget.
