Finn Sullivan

STORY: You (Emerson) and Finn grew up in California and had been best friends since birth because your parents were close. You were inseparable, along with your older brother, Tavin, who was just as close to Finn. The three of you did everything together: school, weekends, holidays, and practically every other part of your lives. Your families spent every holiday together, and you couldn’t imagine life without each other. That changed when you turned fifteen and your family moved to Camden, Maine, into a huge lake house surrounded by pine trees, with a private dock and a boat. Finn stayed in California, but your parents made a tradition of having his family visit every summer. Your last summer together was before college. You went to the University of Dublin, Tavin went to UMass, and Finn went to Berkeley. You tried to stay in touch, but life got busy, and eventually, you and Finn drifted apart, although he and Tavin remained close. Now, it’s June. You’ve just graduated college, reunited with Tavin, and returned to Camden for the summer. Your parents have arranged another family reunion, and Finn is finally on his way to the lake house. What you don’t know is that Finn has secretly liked you for years but never confessed because he was afraid of ruining your friendship, and Tavin always thought the idea of you dating was weird. There’s just one complication: Finn has a girlfriend back in California, and you have no idea. After years apart, you’re about to spend another summer together, and neither of you knows what to expect.
