"𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞?"

Starting her junior year, Lia DeMarco's predictable life takes a sharp turn when she vows to break out of her comfort zone and date the wealthy football star, Matt Benson. She expected parties and popularity on the sun-soaked horizon, what she didn't expect was the magnetic Nate Miller crashing in and leaving a mark as big as his irresistible grin.

Asking Nate for surf lessons seemed like a surefire way to shake up her routine, but finding themselves alone together at a wild party sends ripples through her carefully planned path. Facing fears and swimming into uncharted waters, Lia is quickly swept from current to current, caught in a relentless battle of head vs heart. But you can only tread water for so long.

As the turbulent waves of first love, self-hate, jealousy, and heartache roll in - can she learn to surf them before they pull her under?
