Some people belong to the summer, to the ocean air and the secrets hidden in small towns.
Ridge feels like one of them. And against my better judgment, I'm drawn to him in every quiet glance and lingering word.
But Avery is my best friend, my only constant. And I know wanting him means losing her.
Still, every time I look at Ridge, I wonder: is it already too late to stop?

Summer After You - A Summer I Turned Pretty Fanfiction
Every summer tells a story. But this one? It never left her. Seventeen-year-old Monique "Mo" Hall returns to Cousins Beach for the first time in five years, stepping back into a sun-drenched world she thought she outgrew-but never forgot. With her heart still healing from a betrayal she never voiced and the kind of love that only exists in unfinished sentences, Mo finds herself caught between the familiarity of Jeremiah Fisher's golden grin and the stormy, unreadable gaze of Conrad Fisher. As laughter echoes from porches and secrets stir beneath the waves, Mo must untangle her memories from her desires. Susannah Fisher, long a second mother and spiritual guide, once told her: "The ocean always brings us back to what we're meant to feel." Now, with one final summer left in the place where everything began, Mo's about to learn that love-real love-doesn't come without salt, sacrifice, and soul. A heart-wrenching, slow-burn romance steeped in coastal nostalgia, loyalty dilemmas, and the ache of growing up, Summer After You is for anyone who knows what it means to want more, to risk the safe thing for the true thing, and to return to the place that made you... when you're no longer the same.
