Senior Year is supposed to be simple: apply to colleges, get into said colleges, keep your grades up, and enjoy the last "free" year with your longtime friends. But things aren't always simple like they should be. No, that would be too easy and no one would learn a thing. Heartbreak, bad grades, and big decisions weigh down the fabulous four (Isla, Samuel, Meredith, and Chandler) as they try to make it through the year without changing the closeness of their circle (or square really, because it's four friends).
To stir the pot even more, Isla Summers is in love with her best friend, the semi-brooding, unfairly good looking baseball star she's known since Kindergarten. The same best friend that goes out and hooks up with the entire female class of Prescott (besides her and Mere, of course), but isn't the "Samuel King" everyone else thinks he is. They say opposites attract, and that's definitely the case, for Isla. Her shy, bubbly, goody-two-shoes self is embarrassingly smitten for Sam. It's written all over her face, yet she continues to deny it. That is, until a party at Chandler's blurs the line between friendship and, well, whatever Isla and Sam have.
Returning to Prescott High School, the four are in for a world of love, loss, fear, and growth.
After an unforgettable summer filled with late-night beach walks and stolen glances under the stars, Rose never thought she'd see Andrew again. Their chance meeting on vacation had been like something out of a dream-a season that shimmered with possibility, only to end too soon when she had to leave without his number.
When school starts, Rose's heart nearly stops as she catches sight of him in the gym, his laughter echoing across the court. Andrew goes to her school! And yet, he's always surrounded by friends, a world apart from the quiet beach days they shared. Shy and uncertain, Rose decides it's safer to watch him from a distance than risk the heartbreak of rejection.
As the days pass, and with each glance he seems to catch her gaze, Rose begins to wonder if he remembers her too. Could the spark that started on those sunlit shores still be waiting to ignite? Or will Rose let her fears keep her from a love story waiting just beyond her reach?
