Aria Russo is the average girl. She's not supermodel gorgous and isn't extremely perfect. She's just a 16-year-old girl, ready for the best summer of her life (so far) at her beach house with her best friend, Laura. She rides her bike to get places and hangs out on the beach as much as she can--because summer's for tanning and sleeping late, right?
Blake Lanter is the skater boy. He's got the looks, he's got the talent, and he's got the heart. He really loves skateboarding--it's pretty much all he does. So, when he's forced to spend the summer at a beach house with his family, he really misses skating. There are no skate parks within miles, so he has to make do with what he's got--speed bumps and hills.
So, thanks to Blake's little brother Ryan, Blake and Aria happen to run into each other...and with that, manage to spruce up each other's lives a bit. Blake's got his purple Vans and his board, and Aria's got her bathing suit and her bike. And best friends they become...or should I say, more than best friends?
But when a tragedy tears both families apart, Aria and Blake seem to stray from each other. Blake's spending more time skateboarding than he had before, because it's the only thing that keeps the pain away. The guilt is eating him alive, and he skates so hard he's broken multiple boards. But it releases his stress. Aria feels like it could be her fault. She just disappears into the world of sad music and lies under the sun all day. Can they stick together through hard times? Because, little do they know, each other is the only thing they really need right now...
