Isabella Rae Atwood never thought she'd see her brother again.
After years of surviving an abusive home alone, she finally runs away with nothing but a backpack and a fragile hope that Ryan Atwood is still out there somewhere. When she finds him on a beach in Newport surrounded by people who seem to live perfect lives, everything begins to change.
Newport Beach isn't built for girls like Isabella. It's full of secrets, privilege, complicated friendships-and one very sarcastic boy who talks too much and somehow understands her more than anyone else ever has.
Seth Cohen was never part of the plan.
But maybe finding Ryan wasn't the only thing Isabella was meant to figure out.
