Some people inherited money.
Isla Ashcroft inherited expectation.
As the daughter of one of Figure Eight's wealthiest families, every part of Isla's life has already been decided for her-from the clothes she wears to the future she's expected to want. The only place she feels free is out on the water, where the tide doesn't care about last names or family reputations.
JJ Maybank has spent his whole life on the Cut.
He's reckless, infuriating, and everything Isla has been taught to avoid. She can't stand his cocky grin, his endless teasing, or the stupid nickname he's insisted on calling her since they were kids.
He thinks she's another spoiled Kook.
She thinks he's an arrogant Pogue who never takes anything seriously.
As one unforgettable summer begins to unravel, buried secrets, dangerous adventures, and loyalties that have always divided the island force them onto the same side for the first time. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the line between hate and something far more dangerous.
Because sometimes the biggest divide isn't the Cut and figure eight.
It's everything you've been taught to believe about the person standing on the other side.
