Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*

The nearly 2,000 residents won't let her forget their golden couple status, let alone live down the saddest, most humiliating day of her life. And then there's Sam. He's not quite a resident of Brush River, but he suddenly shows up, and starts to make himself at home. Quiet, a loner, and unforgivably good looking, Max can't help but wonder about his story. Why is he all alone? Why is he so content fixing up her Uncle's old, dilapidated farm house? And why can't Max get him off of her mind? Besides, she's over her ex. And over relationships. Really. She is.
