Belly has measured her life in summers. At Susannah Fisher’s beach house, she’s always been the little sister in a house full of boys—Conrad, broody and far away, and Jeremiah, sunny and steady.

As crushes get complicated, a sweet new boy from the bonfire notices her, and secrets ripple under the surface—secrets that pull every person in this beach family into deeper water. What follows is first love, first heartbreak, and the last true childhood summer.
