Seventeen-year-old Em has spent her entire life in Cypress Cove, a sleepy seaside town where nothing ever changes-until Leo Carter comes back. Two years ago, Leo was Em's "first everything" before he vanished without a goodbye, leaving behind only a heartbreak and a letter Em never had the courage to send.
Now, Leo is back for the summer, trading his skateboard for a guitar and working at the local marina. As the two collide at beach bonfires, boardwalk arcades, and rain-soaked docks, Em must decide if she can protect her heart or if some clichés-and some boys-are worth the risk of a second chance.
