When Beyah arrives at her estranged father's Texas home for an unexpectedly long summer, she's determined to keep things simple and stay invisible until she can move forward with her carefully planned life. But then she meets Samson, her charming neighbor from the other side of the tracks, and their connection is so undeniable that they agree to keep things light—just a summer fling with no strings attached. What unfolds is a tender, deeply felt romance about two people from completely different worlds who somehow understand each other's broken pieces. This is classic Colleen Hoover magic: a story about finding unexpected love when you're not looking for it, wrapped in emotion that'll have you reaching for tissues.
