Kacey Quinn has had her fair share of trouble. After too many close calls with the law, she's sent to spend her summer (and possibly senior year) with her grandmother. She decides to lay low in the new town, but her plans are shattered on the very first day, when she is introduced to the Boys of Summer:
First, she meets Tristan Wheeler, who somehow manages to be funny, insulting, and sweet, all at the same time. Then, it's Hunter Kincaid, the extremely good-looking golden boy with the personality of a Golden Retriever. And last, there's Rowan Murphy, a teenage-genius with awkward tendencies, but good intentions.
Kacey knows that things would be easier if she could simply ride solo, but something about these boys keeps her coming back for more. Through one incredible summer full of countless adventures (some more legal than others), Kacey learns how to live and let go of the past, and hold onto the people that will pull you through every single time.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
