Is one summer enough to make this friendship blossom into love?
Luna and Everett have been best friends since they were little. The two have grown up seeing each other on family every summer, but have never really clicked. Sure, Luna had a crush on Everett throughout all of middle school, but she got over it ages ago, back in freshman year. Now it's the summer before the end of high school, and the last summer Everett will come on the annual family trip. But this year, something is very different. Something about Everett is strange. He is a little more flirtatious, a little more mature, and, well, a little more...cute. Nothing could go wrong, could it?
