About this book
When Claude's world implodes after her parents' divorce, she's whisked away to a mosquito-infested Georgia island—the last place she wants to be. Enter Miah, a brooding local guide with a mysterious past and the uncanny ability to see Claude for who she really is, not who everyone expects her to be. What starts as a no-strings-attached arrangement becomes something neither of them planned for, forcing Claude to confront whether she can write her own story without risking her already fragile heart. This is a gorgeous, utterly absorbing coming-of-age romance about finding yourself when everything feels broken.

“Create a playlist called Breathless. Moody indie-pop and sultry R&B for summer heat and dangerous desire. Vulnerability meets intensity—lo-fi beats, whispered vocals, and the electric tension of two people colliding in isolation. Think boygenius, SZA, and The Neighbourhood.”
