Sometimes real life is better than fiction ...
Seventeen-year-old Anna’s summer is
not
off to a good start. She’s pretty sure she’s flunked her exams, and her boyfriend, Max, has unceremoniously dumped her.
So when her aunt invites her to come work and live at her seaside bookshop, Anna takes her up on the offer—what other choice does she have? At least there she can hide out, maybe get her mess of a life back on track without the distractions of everyone she knows.
But there are plenty of other kinds of distractions in this sleepy little town: the infuriatingly hot local surfer who keeps crossing her path, for instance, plus the celebrity book launch Anna unwittingly agrees to host at the bookshop.
It might not be any less messy than her real life, but this summer is going to be anything but boring!
