Sixteen-year-old Dylan Sanborn is fairly certain she's about to have the worst summer of her life. She's used to being in her twin sister's shadow, since Destiny Sanborn just happens to be one of the biggest rising stars in young music, but this summer all eyes are going to be on Destiny as she competes for the musical opportunity of a lifetime in a televised competition. Determined not to be left out, and maybe a little bit eager to give Destiny a taste of her own medicine, Dylan hatches a plan to enter the competition herself and outshine her superstar sister.

There's just one problem. Dylan has never taken a voice lesson, can't play more than a few rough chords on a guitar, and gets stage fright like you wouldn't believe. In order to put her plan in motion, Dylan has to enlist the (totally cute) boy next door for lessons, repair a broken relationship between a snobbish fiddler and a hot-tempered guitarist, and maybe learn a thing or two about herself in the process.All Rights Reserved

COMPLETED Living a life you didn't sign up for is hard, but doing so while feeling lost is harder. Dylan Amity is a musical prodigy. He could play a range of instruments, from the electric guitar to his violin. He lived, ate, and breathed music and was on track to becoming the orchestra's lead violinist. He was ready to become one of history's best composers. But he decided to place his dreams on hold for a while when he found out that his dad, the CEO of Amity Industry, was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. His dad's death was expected, but the way he died wasn't. After the reading of the will, Dylan is faced with the harsh reality that you don't always get what you want. Following a short period of grief, Dylan is thrust into a world of business, responsibilities, and guardianship. He never wanted to be CEO, but now he has to because it's what his dad wanted. He also never expected to be Amber's, his thirteen-year-old sister's, legal guardian. Dylan has to put his dreams aside as he learns to navigate his new life without any experience of being a CEO or a guardian. Without a guide, Dylan is bound to feel lost, but maybe Rose could help. Maybe she could teach him how to deal with it. ••• Sneak Peek: "You know what, Amber? At least I'm fucking trying!" I gritted out, meeting her eyes that practically blazed with fury. "Yeah! Trying to act like papa. But guess what, Dylan, you never cared about me or what I did!" She screamed, taking steps back towards the stairs. "You never cared when I was a baby, you didn't care when I was a toddler, and guess what! You don't care now. You're only pretending to care to make yourself feel better. But you don't! No one fucking cares."

After ten years of living in Boston with her mom, she's returned to her coastal hometown of Bar Harbor, Maine, for one last unforgettable summer. With her head full of childhood memories and her heart set on reconnecting with old friends, River is determined to recapture the magic of simpler times. Enter Leo-the charming, unpredictable frat guy who makes it impossible for River to keep her walls up. With his laid-back confidence, easy banter, and genuine kindness, he pulls her into moments of joy and spontaneity, reminding her what it feels like to be truly alive. But River isn't looking for something serious. She's keeping her heart guarded, convinced that this summer has an expiration date, and so does whatever this thing is with Leo. As River navigates the delicate balance between falling for someone and keeping her distance, she's forced to confront what it really means to live in the moment. Can she protect herself from getting hurt, or will she let her heart lead her into the unknown?
