Everyone is trying to come together one last time before leaving school behind for good. But three years ago, you secretly dated your older brother’s best friend. For almost a year, you were each other’s secret… until your brother found out. He gave him a choice: you or his best friend. And he chose loyalty. You thought he stopped loving you. He thought letting you hate him was the only way to protect everyone. Now, your friends rent a beach house for one final summer. The problem? Your brother is coming. And so is the boy who broke your heart. The one who still rides the same black motorcycle. The one who acts like you’ve never met. But some feelings don’t disappear just because you pretend they do.
