A summer by the sea. A girl who feels a little lost. And a boy who changes everything.
Every summer, Emma spends her days at her family's beach house on the coast - and every year feels the same. The same sunsets, the same walks along the shore, the same memories hanging in the air like salt. But this summer feels different. Emma doesn't know why, but something inside her has shifted.
On the first day, she spots a boy she's never seen before. He's confident, a little mysterious, and always surrounded by a group of friends. Their eyes meet for just a moment - but it's enough to spark something Emma can't ignore.
Between long summer days, bonfires on the beach, and stolen glances, what begins as distant curiosity slowly grows into something more. But the closer Emma gets, the more she realizes he's hiding things he doesn't share with just anyone.
A slow-burn novel about first love, family, and the small moments that change everything.
