A heartfelt summer read for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han about
holding on and letting go.
Waverly Lyons has been caught in the middle of her parents' divorce for
as long as she can remember. This summer, the battle rages over who
she'll spend her vacation with, and when Waverly's options are shot
down, it's bye-bye Fairbanks, Alaska and hello Holden, Florida to
stay with her aunt.
Coming from the tundra of the north, the beach culture isn't exactly
Waverly's forte. The sun may just be her mortal enemy, and her vibe is
decidedly not chill. To top it off? Her ability to swim is
nonexistent.
Enter Blake, the (superhot) boy next door. Charming and sweet, he
welcomes Waverly into his circle. For the first time in her life,
Waverly has friends, a social life, and soon enough,
feelings . . . for Blake. As the two grow closer, Waverly's fortunes
begin to look up. But every summer must come to an end, and letting go
is hardest when you've finally found where you belong.
