It's the summer of 1986, and eighteen year old David Whitemore is determined to make it one he'll never forget. Fresh out of high school, his last carefree months before Boston University stretch before him like endless golden days. David is tall, striking, and effortlessly magnetic, yet beneath the surface, he's still learning who he is and who he wants to be.
When a new girl moves to town Stacy Higgins, confident, independent, and impossibly intriguing. David is tasked by his mother to show her around. But what starts as a reluctant obligation quickly turns into a collision of personalities. David is distracted by his shallow crush on another girl, and Stacy sees him as just another privileged, good-looking guy. Sparks fly, egos clash, and the two can barely stand one another... at first.
Against the backdrop of neon lit malls, beach bonfires, roller skating rinks, and town festivals, David and Stacy navigate the messy, exhilarating chaos of friendship, family, and first love. Between David's quirky best friends, his stoic yet hilarious older brother, and his mischievous little sister, summer is alive with laughter, pranks, and the thrill of endless possibility.
But as days pass and secrets unravel, David begins to see past the surface, recognizing Stacy's kindness, confidence, and humor the kind of person who makes him want to be better. And Stacy, in turn, discovers that David is more than his perfect jawline and effortless charm. As their worlds collide, what starts as annoyance and obligation grows into something deeper, something that will change both of them forever.
