About the Book
A luminous YA love story that evokes Judy Blume’s Forever for a new generation.
Sarah—Bean to her friends and family—is an aspiring astronomer and champion mathlete. She lives behind her beloved telescope, with her head in the stars and her feet planted firmly on the ground. For as long as she can remember, she’s also lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister, Scarlett.
But after a traumatic end to the school year, Sarah goes to Cape Cod for the summer with her family, determined to grow up. It’s there that she meets gorgeous, older college boy Andrew. He sees her as the girl she wants to be. A girl like Scarlett. He thinks she’s older, too—and she doesn’t correct him.
For Sarah, it’s a summer of firsts. Before she knows what’s happened, one little lie has transformed into something real. And by the end of August, she might have to choose between falling in love, and finding herself.
Fans of Jenny Han and Stephanie Perkins are destined to fall for this romantic and heartfelt coming-of-age novel about how life and love are impossible to predict.

My best beach memory is from when I was about three or four and my Dad was stationed in Virginia Beach. My Mom took my brothers and I to the beach and there were dolphins that were swimming near the shore. It was the first time I saw wild dolphins!

I loved collecting sea shells when I was little. This book sounds really cute! I would love to read this. 🙂
My best friend’s wedding on the beach in the Turks and Caicos!
I remember building sandcastles destined to be kicked in, or washed away by the tide. It always reminded me of how active the beach was; the sea always moving, the sand always shifting and the hundreds of people always walking, running, jumping around me. The atmosphere of the beach has always been my favourite thing.
With my family in Alabama when a pilot whale swam by us and scared us half to death! It was cool.
My best beach memory is probably making sandcastles. A simple activity that’s such fun a kid.
I love going to Alki beach in Seattle and eating at my favorite pizza place right there outside of it! One time I even saw a baby seal!
