Desiree Johnson is just the best friend of Steven and Belly Conklin, right?
This summer marks Desiree's first time at the infamous Cousins summer house that her childhood best friends, Belly and Steven, are always telling stories about. Yet, this summer is anything but a typical vacation.
As a quiet Black girl trying to navigate a predominantly white world that often overlooks her, finding her place amidst the familiar sun-kissed crowds and idyllic backdrop feels like an impossible feat. Nobody is content with uncomfortable change--- especially Belly, who eventually gets fed up with being made a side character. What will Desiree and her new gang of friends do with unfamiliar encounters with being forced to face the fire? Especially with Steven's hidden flames in uncharted territory?
