Fortunately, she’s got Colin, her magnetic boyfriend, who sweeps her along for activities, friendships, and future plans. Then she goes on a last-minute trip with her distant mom to a family vacation house that Finley didn’t know existed and is now about to be sold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer mom was estranged from her own parents and siblings since leaving home for college, and it’s a novelty for Finley to see her aunts and cousins. There’s also the handful of teens who work at the Egg, her aunt’s diner, and make up a found family of their own—including undeniably handsome guitarist Ben.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen her relationship with Colin goes into freefall, and Finley’s roadmap for life after high school is gone. She has no choice but to live, for the first time, without plans. The longer Finley stays, the closer she gets to the truth about why her mother stayed away—and why she’s brought Finley here now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the closer she grows to new friends at the Egg, the more she starts to fall for charmingly awkward, soulful Ben and to realize how much of herself she’s been missing. By the end of the summer, nothing will be the same—for this community or for Finley herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781761827501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 30 Jun 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: East Roseville, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 21(H)x13.5(L)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah Dessen is the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of over a dozen novels for teens, including \u003ci\u003eThe Truth About Forever\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJust Listen\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThis Lullaby\u003c\/i\u003e.
