Tides || jack gilinsky

Following a family tragedy, 17 year-old Breanna Alvarez fled her hometown of BayBridge, North Carolina to find a new beginning in New York alongside her mom and younger brother. Now, three years later, and headed for a bachelors degree in early childhood development, Bre becomes stomped once again upon hearing that her mother has been offered a new job opportunity, in Madrid. Forced to move again, Bre and her younger brother packed their bags and prepared to move in with their father, whom they've barely spoken to since the move. Upon her arrival, Bre is welcomed back to a still broken family, friends with secrets, and even a tall handsome stranger who literally came crashing into her life.

Now, a new and rejuvenated woman, Bre works hard to not fall back into the way things were before she left. But with dark pasts, uninvited guests, family drama, and lies finally coming afloat--the task will become much harder. It is no surprise why they decided to leave in the first place. But once the the truth strikes out in the small town, Bre is left discovering not only more about those closest to her, but the truth amongst society's expectations, and herself.

And just when she feels like she's got nowhere else to go, or no other person to trust, the tides will send her back to what it all comes down to in the end... how far you'll go to protect the ones you love-and how much you are willing to do, to get what you want.
