Every summer, the Conklin and Fisher families returned to Cousins Beach like clockwork—same house, same ocean, same memories waiting to be relived. It was always Belly, her older brother Steven, their mom Laurel, and the Fishers: Susannah and her sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. But this summer, everything is different. Belly isn’t the same awkward girl from summers past, Conrad is more distant than ever, and Susannah is hiding something no one wants to say out loud. And then there’s Summer—Belly and Steven’s half-sister from their dad’s second marriage—spending her first full summer at Cousins. With her golden hair, effortless charm, and a spark that turns heads the second she arrives, Sunny’s presence adds a new layer of tension to a house already brimming with unspoken feelings, old crushes, and the kind of love that’s both beautiful and dangerous.
