A note for parents

This is a contemporary family story about two teenagers who share a beach house at different times of year and eventually meet. The core themes center on connection, family, and growing up, with subtle emotional complexity around identity and relationships. While the book explores coming-of-age feelings and contains some romantic or mildly suggestive content appropriate to the age group, it remains grounded in realistic family dynamics and meaningful friendships. The emotional weight involves some family tension and unresolved questions that might feel heavy for younger readers.

Since they were children, they've shared almost everything--reading the same books, running down the same sandy footpaths to the beach, eating peaches from the same market, laughing around the same sun-soaked dining table. Even sleeping in the same bed, on the very same worn cotton sheets. But they've never met.
