Madden Bennett started spending summers in the same beach town when she was little because her mom’s best friend owned a beach house there. Every year felt the same — bonfires, boardwalk nights, swimming until sunset — until Dean Cole became part of her summers. At first, he was just the annoying boy who followed her around making fun of everything she did. He’d steal her sunglasses, splash her at the beach, and act like getting on her nerves was a sport. But over time, their arguments turned into inside jokes, long nighttime talks, and feelings neither of them wanted to admit. Isla went through a rough year before this summer. She stopped talking to a lot of people, became more guarded, and came back to the beach town hoping for a distraction. What she didn’t expect was Dean noticing immediately that something about her changed. Now this summer feels different. The tension between them is stronger, emotions are messier, and neither of them knows how to stop circling back to each other.

Ella has spent every summer in the same beach town since she was little because her family owns a small vacation house near the shore. Summers there became her escape from real life — no school stress, no drama, just ocean air, bonfires, and late nights with the same group of people every year. Growing up, Ella was always the loud one in the friend group — the girl daring everyone to jump off docks at midnight or sneaking out for ice cream runs at 2 AM. People assumed she had the perfect life because she was always smiling, but behind the scenes, her family life was messy and unpredictable. Over time, she learned to hide her emotions behind humor and chaos. Everything started changing when she got older and feelings became more complicated. Summers stopped feeling simple, especially once friendships turned into tension, jealousy, and relationships nobody wanted to define. Ella tries to act like she doesn’t care about any of it, but deep down, she wants someone who chooses her every single time. This summer feels different though — messier, more emotional, and impossible to forget.

Dean Cole grew up spending every summer in a small beach town after his parents divorced when he was younger. While his mom stayed busy working, Dean practically raised himself during summers — hanging around the boardwalk, getting into trouble with friends, and learning how to hide his real feelings behind jokes and sarcasm. Everyone in town knows him as the “pretty troublemaker” who somehow gets away with everything. Every year, the same people come back for summer vacation, including you. When you were younger, Dean annoyed you nonstop — splashing you at the beach, making fun of your music taste, stealing your snacks, and acting like teasing you was his full-time job. But as the summers passed, things started changing. The teasing became flirting, the arguments lasted longer than they should, and Dean started paying way more attention to you than anyone else. Even though he acts confident and unserious, Dean secretly struggles with feeling replaceable and not good enough for people to stay. Instead of admitting when he cares, he hides behind humor, cocky comments, and acting emotionally unavailable. He hates serious conversations because they make him feel exposed.
