Sydney Laycock, an ordinary girl living her life in the beautiful beach city Laguna Beach. Her life is normal and she's happy, with a Doctor for a father and a Personal Trainer for a mother, and a surfing scholarship in her sights, she is as happy as she could be, that was until she met her new neighbor, Duke Waltman.
Duke Waltman, the new boy from Carlsbad in sunny San Diego. With his pro surfing career just about to take off, moving was the last thing that he needed. But after his parents divorce his father felt that it would be best if they moved to a new place, he said it would be a " fresh start." To Duke this "fresh start" was stupid and just one more thing to get in his way, little did he know that the moment he met Sydney Laycock, his world was going to change.
Summer. It's a time to hang out at the beach and live life to its fullest. But what if that's not what you want. What if you want to relax in the comfort of your own home rather than go out all night. That's Tessa for you. She loves the comfort of just watching Netflix and reading a book. Nonetheless she finds herself in a beach city, helping out her uncle for the summer. She still thinks her summer is going to stay the same, but what happens when she meets a surfer dude who can't help, but get under her skin. Will her hatred for him lead her to do things she never thought she would do to prove a point? Will she realize what she feels for him isn't just hate anymore, but possibly love. Who knows, but what she ends up learning is that there is no better time to see the world than now.
