Ivy has grown up as part of a tight-knit group of friends and family, always considered a "cousin" by Christine's children, and having a close bond with Gracie, who is like a sister to her. However, it's Gabriel, Christine's son, who has captured her heart.
This summer is different. It's full of firsts: Ivy's mother isn't joining them, Christine has remarried Charles, and they're traveling together with a new set of people-including Charles's children.
As the summer progresses, Ivy's feelings for Gabriel intensify, but she's unsure if he feels the same. Tension builds between them as Ivy tries to navigate her feelings, which are complicated by her history with Gabriel and her own fears of rejection.
