Sunset High

Isabelle "Izzy" Whitaker's life fell apart in an instant. One moment, everything was normal-school, work, dealing with her troublemaking older brother. The next, her dad was gone, and she was left picking up the pieces. Between shifts at the local movie theater, overdue bills, and keeping her brother out of trouble, Izzy doesn't have time for grief or boys like Jude Molina.

Jude has always been one of those guys. The kind who owns every room he walks into, who laughs like the world exists just to entertain him. The son of a wealthy, well-known family, Jude has had it easy, at least from where Izzy's standing. They've barely spoken in all the years they've gone to the same schools.

But then came the accident.

Now, Jude is back in town after disappearing for two months, and suddenly, she's noticing him everywhere-at the beach, at late-night parties, and he keeps showing up in Izzy's orbit, pushing past the walls she's built around herself.

She doesn't know why he cares. She doesn't want to care. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the way he looks at her-or the way she feels when he does.

Maybe he's not who she thought he was. Maybe she's not who she thought she was, either.

Maybe this summer is about to change everything.
