After 180 long, stressful school days, Camilla Earheart's tenth grade year is finally over! Now it's time to pull out the short-shorts, bathing suits, and flip-flops and have a great time off, right? Wrong. Instead, Camilla's mother thinks it's time for her to go spend some bonding time with her father, who she has not seen or talked to in several years. The last thing Camilla wants to do is pack her bags, and fly out to Miami, Florida. However, when she meets a boy at a beach party, her summer turns...upside down. They may have gotten off to a rough start, but she can't help but be drawn into him. He's a good-looking boy, plays volleyball, and is a kind, and poetic guy. His name, James Carter. To make things better, he's Camilla's new neighbor for the summer! So what happens when Camilla has to deal with an unexpected summer romance, and her neglectful father without her mother, or best friend Kai, by her side? Let's just say it's going to be one crazy summer..
When Elizabeth Brayten and her family visit Florida to meet her Mom's parents, and to see where her mother grew up, she will be faced with many challenges. Between finding who she is and trying to find out who she will become, she meets people who could change her life for the better, or ruin it. Following her in her story, will she overcome theoretic mountains over her summer long vacation, or will her whole summer be a waste? Will her life change drastically or will she start high school the same person that left 8th grade in June?

Back at Grandma and Granddads, I walk to my room and slam the door. I want to be alone, but something inside of me wants to be alone with James, which doesn’t make sense, because one’ I don’t like James more than a friend, do I? And two; I wouldn’t be alone if he were here.
