You move to the Outer Banks as a Kook, born into the side of the island that has everything—except freedom. When you meet Sarah Cameron, she pulls you into a world you were never meant to be part of: the Pogues, the Chateau, and a summer full of reckless adventures. Caught between wealth and loyalty, you find yourself falling for JJ Maybank, a boy who lives fast and feels deeply. One kiss changes everything, and crossing the line between Kook and Pogue means there’s no going back.
