Marina Carter has the perfect life-or so it seems. In the picturesque seaside town of Ripple Beach, she is adored, admired, and suffocated by expectations. She longs to break free from the flawless image she's trapped in.
Then Austin Reed arrives, a city boy with a guarded heart and a taste for recklessness. Sent away for the summer to escape his troubled home, he numbs himself with parties and late nights. He and Marina are opposites, yet drawn together by their shared loneliness.
Through stolen moments on the shore and whispered conversations beneath the stars, Marina learns to embrace imperfection, while Austin begins to feel again. But summer is fleeting, and so is their time together.
When Austin asks her to leave with him, Marina faces a choice-run from her life or finally define it on her own terms. In the end, she stays, not for others, but for herself. And for the first time, that feels like enough.
