Ellie Higgins has always known how to hold a room, and how to hold a boy at arm's length. Sharp-tongued, magnetic, and used to being chased, Ellie prefers her admirers flustered and fumbling, safely under her spell. Love, to her, has always been a game she controls. When her father, Marcus, reunites with his old school friends for a summer at a secluded lakeside cabin following the funeral of their beloved former basketball coach, Ellie expects nothing more than awkward nostalgia, forced small talk, and a long, boring few weeks in the woods. But the summer shifts the moment Ellie meets Matt Feder, the eldest son of one of her father's closest friends. Matt is nothing like the boys back home. Quiet but not shy, observant but never overeager, he's a strange contradiction: broad-shouldered and strong from years in the gym, yet bookish and thoughtful, with a dry wit that sneaks up on her. For the first time, Ellie isn't sure who's in control. What begins as a challenge, a summer fling to pass the time, slowly deepens into something neither of them expected.

"I don't promise things," I warn him.
"I'm not asking you to."
"I don't like not being in control."
"You can be."
"And if this blows up in my face-"
"I'll still be there," he says gently.

TW: This book will consist of drugs, alcohol, sexual content, pregnancy, bad parenting, and jealousy. This does not fully follow the timeline of the movie 'Grown Ups'. This book is definitely a fast burn.
