I picked this up looking for a summer of self-discovery, and while I found that I really enjoyed the main character Sloane, that same feeling couldn’t be directed at the other characters. Thank you Netgalley and Disney-Hyperion for the review copy! Weighing years of history with Mick and Tyler against their deception, and the delicate possibility of new love, Sloane must decide when to forgive, and when to live for herself. And as her casual connection with Finn grows deeper, Sloane’s carefree summer might not be as easy to find as she’d hoped.

And when she meets Finn McAllister, the handsome son of a hotel magnate who doesn’t always play by the rules, she knows he’s the perfect distraction from everything that’s so wrong back home.īut it turns out a measly ocean isn’t nearly enough to stop all the emails, texts, and voicemails from her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend, desperate to explain away their betrayal. With beach bonfires, old friends, exotic food, and the wonders of a waterproof cast, there’s no reason Sloane shouldn’t enjoy her summer. Once she arrives in Honolulu, though, Sloane hopes that Hawaii might just be the escape she needs. Instead, after learning an unthinkable secret about her boyfriend, Tyler, and best friend, Mick, all she has is a fractured hand and a completely shattered heart. These are the things seventeen-year-old Sloane McIntyre pictured when she imagined the summer she’d be spending at her mom’s home in Hawaii with her twin brother, Penn. Flirty texts with her boyfriend back in Seattle. Weighing years of history with Mick and Tyler against their deception, and the delicate possibility of new love, Sloane must decide when to forgive, and when to live for herself.Warm Hawaiian sun. And as her casual connection with Finn grows deeper, Sloane’s carefree summer might not be as easy to come by as she’d hoped.
