For fans of Christina Lauren and Carley Fortune comes a swoon worthy romcom about finding fun and love again after life almost burns you out...
Camille Luna's life is not going according to plan. Her corporate job drains her soul, her student loans won't quit, and her ex is now the wedge between her once-close college friendship group.
When a bad night ends in a holding cell and one phone call, it's Danny — the charming slacker of their group turned unexpected success story—who answers.
Now running a seaside restaurant in Elswick, Rhode Island, Danny offers her the perfect escape: a summer of waitressing shifts, beach walks and late-night swims. With no five year plan in insight, Cam finds herself reigniting old dreams, and catching serious feelings for Danny...
But summer isn't forever. With September looming, Cam must choose: return to the safe, burned-out version of herself, or take a risk on the life — and the love — she never saw coming.
Tropes:
- Friends to lovers
- Golden retriever energy
