Fran has a tried-and-tested solution for dealing with her problems: run away. 

And despite what the self-help books say, it's worked pretty well up until now. "Now" referring to her hiding in the seaside town of Seacombe until the end of summer, and ignoring her rocky relationship with her mother until she leaves for university. She likes to think the combination of the fresh sea air, being 50 miles away from home and the guitar she uses to drown her sorrows with will help calm her nerves. 
But her problems always catch up to her eventually, and Fran is about to learn that she can only run for so long...

Genre: YA Contemporary Romance Vibe: Endless summer, surf wax and sea salt, vinyl records and van life, with a slow-burn love story at its core. Seventeen-year-old Juniper "June" Reyes lives out of her dad's old VW van, hopping from beach town to beach town with her free-spirited mother, who sells handmade jewelry at coastal markets. After years on the road, they land in Sunset Break, a vibrant California surf town where June's mom decides to stay for the whole summer. June has a rule: never get attached. But then she meets Kai Rivera, a local surf prodigy with salt-tangled hair, a quiet soul, and a secret heartbreak he's buried deep beneath the waves. Kai plays guitar in a garage band and writes lyrics he never shares with anyone-until he accidentally leaves his notebook behind at the beach, and June finds it. Music becomes their unspoken language. They begin to trade songs, playlists, and late-night conversations on the beach. But both are guarded-Kai's struggling with the pressure of going pro in surfing, while June's afraid of putting down roots she'll just have to rip up again. As the summer unfolds, so do their feelings-but slowly. It's all glances across bonfires, shy touches after surf lessons, and lyrics exchanged like secrets. When June gets the chance to leave again-to follow her mom to a new coast-it forces her to ask the one question she's always avoided: What if staying is braver than leaving?

Willow's always been known as the good girl with the wealthy parents who could do no wrong. Little do they know that this seemingly perfect girl has some less than perfect secrets; and the fact that she's been sneaking out past curfew every night since the beginning of summer isn't the worst one. Distancing herself from the people at school has become lonely, but everything changes when a group of bad boys that she meets after curfew one night transfer to her school and begin to take an interest in her; one even more than the rest. But will they be able to protect her when events from her past re-surface and begin to get her into more trouble than she ever wanted? ********************** We were a circuit, electricity flowing through us at every connection, every light touch igniting a heat that was exhilarating but dangerous. Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.

"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.
