Life in the Outer Banks is a lot different when everyone gets along. Instead of Pogues and Kooks constantly fighting, the two groups have become one close-knit friend group. John B. Rutledge and his younger sister have grown up alongside JJ, Pope, Kiara, Sarah, Topper, and even Rafe Cameron, proving that friendships can exist beyond old rivalries. As the younger sister of John B., you’ve always found yourself in the middle of every adventure, whether it’s late-night bonfires on the beach, boat rides through the marsh, or unforgettable summer memories with the people you love most. But one relationship surprises everyone the most—your romance with Rafe Cameron. Despite his reputation, Rafe is different around you, and together you show everyone that people can change when they’re surrounded by the right friends. Filled with laughter, romance, beach adventures, and the ups and downs of growing up, this story reimagines the Outer Banks in a world where friendship comes first, family means everything, and the line between Pogue and Kook no longer exists.
