April Jane isn't a fool. She knows that her parents' "temporary separation" is nothing short of divorce, and that her Mom's opioid addiction will eventually kill her. So when her parents decide to send her to Arizona to stay with her Aunt Beck for the summer while they, "work things out," April hopes for a fresh start, new friends, and a three month escape from her crumbling life back home.
Finn Cochrane signed up for the tri-state summer exchange student program because his guidance counselor advised him to, so that he could experience Arizona before Senior year, not to escape a devastating secret from Finn's past that's come to light, not because he wants to have a few more blissful months before the possibility of juvie. 
Soon, the two find themselves staying across the hall from each other, and-slowly but surely-falling in love. But they are constantly reminded that after this summer, it all falls apart. 
A new twist on the classic summer teen romance "The Dying Art of Summer" is sure to break your heart and piece it back together, over and over again.
