Seven years ago, Maren Adler spent one unforgettable summer on Cape Cod, where she fell in love with Cooper Sullivan. What started as a carefree summer romance became something neither of them expected—until distance, college, and poor communication eventually pulled them apart. Now 25, Maren returns to the Cape with her best friends, Lane and Nora, for a summer away from their busy lives. They’re hoping for sunshine, new memories, and a chance to explore their dream of starting a creative business together. What Maren doesn’t expect is to walk back into Cooper’s life. Cooper has spent seven years building a life of his own, including turning The Back Deck into the successful restaurant and bar he always dreamed of. Seeing Maren again brings back feelings he thought he had buried long ago—and forces both of them to confront the question they never truly answered: what if they weren’t supposed to end? With old feelings resurfacing, new memories being made, and the entire summer stretching ahead of them, Maren and Cooper have one chance to find out if some love stories really do deserve a second beginning.
