Luke is the ideal boyfriend—handsome, considerate, and lively. In Colby, the coastal town where they both grew up, he and Emaline attended high school together. Now, however, in the summer before college, Emaline questions if perfection is really sufficient.
Theo arrives, an extremely driven foreigner from New York who is helping with a documentary on a secretive local artist. Not only is Theo attractive and intelligent, but he also believes Emaline is much too intelligent for Colby.
In addition, Emaline's father, who is seldom around, believes that Emaline ought to have a more fulfilling life and that pursuing an Ivy League degree is the only way for her to reach her full potential. Theo and her father's promises of a bright future draw Emaline in. However, she also holds on to the strong foundation of her sisters, stepfather, and devoted mother. Is she able to resist the allure of Colby's delightfully familiar world?
Emaline aspires to the moon and beyond, but how can she reconcile her past and future?
Devoted followers of Sarah Dessen will enjoy this tale of romance, longing, and, in the end, empowerment. Summertime is the only time it may occur.
