About this ebook

From the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Once and for All

In her eleventh novel, Sarah Dessen returns to the beach town of Colby, setting of some of her best-loved books. Emaline is a Colby native, and so summer at the beach for her means hard work and a new population of beach goers. During this, her last summer before college, Emaline meets Theo while working for her family’s rental business. He’s a city boy who’s come to Colby as the assistant to a high-strung documentary filmmaker who’s in town to profile a reclusive local artist. Emaline knows he’s not her type, but she can’t help feeling drawn to him. And as their relationship develops, Emaline finds herself questioning her own goals, values, and choices in this classic Dessen romance.

Sarah Dessen is the winner of the Margaret A. Edwards Award for her contributions to YA literature, as well as the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award.

Ratings and reviews

I thought I would enjoy this book because I have read and fell in love with other Sarah Dessen books, but this book was so boring.. but i did like how Emalines mother was a teen mom and talked about how she loved Emaline to the moon and more. I can definitely relate to that because I'm a teen mother myself and love my daughter to the moon and more ♡ Other then that though, I have to say I'm disappointed in this book. Too boring.

I was quite skeptical theoughout the majority of the story but pleased when she ended it the way I thought it should be ended. Not my favourite of what she's written, but still good.

This is only the second book by Sarah Dessen I have read but I plan on buying every book she's written. The details were great. Awesome imagery and setting the scene. Definetly should read!
