About this ebook
The anticipated follow-up to My Life Next Door is a magnetic, push-me-pull-me summer romance where a young girl dreams of escaping the weight of her family's obligations.
“Utterly luminous . . . deftly balances the shimmering promise of summer, first love, and yearning in an emotionally charged, beautifully written book.”—Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author
“Hauntingly raw, romantic, and beautiful.”—Katie McGarry, author of Crash Into You
“Much deeper than the pretty cover lets on.”—Kirkus Reviews
Gwen Castle comes from a long line of fishermen and housecleaners who support Seashell Island’s summer visitors, and she expects her life to go the same way.
But then she discovers that Cassidy Somers—also known as her Biggest Mistake Ever—is working on the island for the season. And though she tries to avoid him, fate keeps pushing them together.
Sparks fly and secrets are revealed as Gwen spends a gorgeous, restless summer struggling to resolve what she thought was true—about her life, herself, and the people she loves—with what really is.

About the author
Huntley Fitzpatrick always wanted to be a writer. She grew up in a small, coastal, Connecticut town much like the Stony Bay of her novels, My Life Next Door, What I Thought Was True, and The Boy Most Likely To. After college she held multiple jobs across publishing—including as an editor at Harlequin, where she worked with a variety of romance authors—and, ultimately, embarked on a writing career of her own. Before her death in 2022, Huntley was a full-time writer, wife, and mom to six children, living on the coast of Massachusetts. She brought the world three critically acclaimed, utterly transporting young adult novels about love, friendship, family, and coming of age. My Life Next Door is considered a modern YA romance classic, and its characters reflect Huntley’s deep love for her family, who were everything to her.
