Capeside is the kind of town that remembers everything.
For sixteen years, Elizabeth "Eliza" Leery and Colsen Witter have been inseparable - best friends since birth, bound by family history and summers that always felt endless. But this is the last summer before senior year. The last summer before choices become permanent. The last summer before everything changes.
Eliza dreams of leaving Capeside one day, camera in hand, determined to prove she's capable of something bigger. Colsen dreams of staying, of building something steady in the only place that's ever felt like home. They've never questioned their future - until suddenly, it's staring back at them.
They both know the truth.
Best friends aren't supposed to fall in love.
And love isn't supposed to feel this terrifying.
As summer slips toward September, old stories resurface and new secrets take shape. The more Eliza uncovers about her parents' complicated past, the more she wonders if love in Capeside is destined to repeat itself - or if this time, it can be rewritten.
Because growing up doesn't come with a script.
And sometimes, the scariest thing isn't losing your best friend.
It's risking everything to keep them.
