"Every summer tells a story. This one might change her forever."

For Marisol Solace, Cousins Beach has always been her escape - sunlit mornings, salt in her hair, and the familiar warmth of the Fisher house where every summer felt endless.

But this year feels different. Her mom is gone, her dad's a stranger, and the people she thought she knew are shifting like the tide.

There's Conrad Fisher - distant, complicated, and the boy she once thought held her heart.

And then there's Belly Conklin - bright, impulsive, and the girl who makes the whole world feel like summer. What Marisol never expected was that Belly might see her in ways she's never dared to see herself.

Between Fourth of July bonfires, late-night drives, and the looming debutante ball, Marisol has to figure out if Cousins is still her safe haven... or if it's the place that could change her forever.

Because some summers you outgrow, and some summers you grow into - even if it means falling for the girl who feels like home.
