On the Outer Banks, the line between Kooks and Pogues is drawn in sand and blood, and everyone is expected to pick a side. Y/N was born a Kook, but she’s never fit the part. She hates the hierarchy, hates the way people are judged by money and last names, and would rather spend her days surfing, painting, and reading on the beach than going to country club parties. Most people on the island think they know her — pretty, quiet, a little sarcastic, always in bikinis or oversized sweatshirts — but they don’t know about the nights she still misses her dad, or how alone she sometimes feels in the Figure Eight world.
