When Ally inherits her grandmother's charming but slightly crumbling Victorian house, she's ready to start fresh and rebuild her life-literally and figuratively. But there's one major catch: her estranged childhood best friend, Jake, owns the other half of the house. Years ago, the two were inseparable, but a mysterious falling out shattered their bond, and they haven't spoken since. Now, they're forced to work together to figure out what to do with the house: sell it, renovate it, or find a way to coexist under the same roof. As they sort through their grandmother's old belongings, they uncover family secrets, long-forgotten treasures, and clues that might explain why their lives took such different paths. Between clashing personalities, unresolved feelings, and unexpected discoveries, Ally and Jake are about to learn that sometimes the hardest part of rebuilding isn't fixing the house it's repairing the relationships that matter most.

That summer where you skateboard along empty streets at sunset and accidentally steal candy from a grocery store. Well, I didn't get that, but I got pretty close to it. Because for the summer I went to an island in the middle of nowhere so my dad could start up a new one of his businesses in his chain of stores. I went to the beach. And I met Royce... Royce was two years older than me and had the prettiest purplish eyes and blonde hair. He was the most charismatic person I'd ever met. Then shortly after me and Royce's first appearance we met Jack and Koa. It was amazing and I loved every second of it, until I realized that I had fallen for Royce. And he seemed to fall for me too!
