"Some things aren't meant to last forever.
But that doesn't mean they aren't worth remembering."
When Elle Mercer and her newly divorced mom move to a small coastal town for the summer, she expects boredom, salty air, and a lot of awkward small talk.
What she doesn't expect is him.
Kai Bennett is sunburnt skin, ocean waves, and a smile that gets him out of trouble. He lives for surfing, late nights, and keeping people at arm's length. Charming, easygoing, and impossible to ignore, he's the kind of boy who looks like summer-and breaks hearts like it too.
Elle didn't plan on crossing paths with him. Didn't plan on the way he makes her laugh when she's trying not to. Didn't plan on the way he sees the parts of her she hides from everyone else.
But some summers have a way of changing everything.
As July unfolds, late-night talks turn into something more, and the line between friendship and something dangerous starts to blur.
In a town where everyone knows everyone, secrets don't stay buried for long. And when the truth comes out, Elle will have to decide what she's willing to risk for a boy who was only meant to be her summer.
But what happens when August comes?
