On the day before Superstorm Sandy crashes into the New
Jersey shore, local girl Lucy Giordano spends an intense morning with the
summer boy next door, Connor Malloy. Lucy believes it’s the start of something
special between her and the boy she’s been watching for years from behind
sunglasses. But when Connor returns home and doesn’t call like he promised,
Lucy realizes she made a big mistake—one she vows to keep a big secret. A smart
girl like Lucy knew better than to cross a line that big with a player like
that. She accepts that her love life is just one more thing that took a big hit
from the devastating hurricane and moves on.
Now it’s the first summer after the
storm, and the boy Lucy spent all winter trying to forget returns to Seaside
Park with a new girlfriend, Bryn. Lucy tells herself it doesn’t matter, she’s
with Andrew Clark now, her best friend who recently became more. Forget love
and destiny, Lucy is more determined than ever to think with her mind, not her
heart, and spend the summer hanging with her Seaside friends, working at
Breakwater Burrito, and focusing on her goal of becoming a marine zoologist. But
Lucy’s grand plans unravel before the first tan lines appear. When Lucy
discovers her twin brother, Liam, and their parents have secrets of their own,
and her rock-solid boyfriend is not-so-solid after all, she struggles to
rebuild a life with the people she cares the most about in the place she loves.
