You get adopted into a friend group, with Felice, Stella, Madison, Fredrika, Simon and Wilhelm. They’re all friends and add you in as you join the new school.
Every summer, Scarlett returns to Sterling Point, a beautiful island in Muskoka where the days are spent swimming in the lake, racing around in boats, lying out on the docks and getting dragged into whatever chaos the friend group has planned next. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows everyone—and where Scarlett, Oona, Annie, Ellis, Ramona, Connor, Sully, Rory and Maple have become their own little family.
Some people survive their past. Y/N is still learning how. At twenty-five, she’s built a quiet life for herself and her little girl after escaping an abusive relationship. Love is the last thing on her mind—her daughter will always come first. But when she attends her best friend Felice’s wedding, one unexpected meeting changes everything. Wilhelm is kind in all the ways she’s forgotten people can be. He never pushes, never asks her to trust him before she’s ready, and somehow wins over the most important person in her life first: her daughter. As friendship slowly turns into something neither of them expected, Y/N finds herself wondering if it’s possible to stop surviving… and finally start living. But the past isn’t finished with her yet, and when old wounds resurface, she’ll have to decide whether risking her heart is worth the chance of finding the family she never thought she’d have.
You’re all in a friend group and Wilhelm is the only person who will put up with, and know how to handle your attitude. He is sarcastic, a bit mean, possessive, protective. No one knows how gentle, soft and caring he really is.
Wilhelm and you have always been casual, but hate eachother. You’re super touchy and say you hate eachother and you really do. Your friend group is used to it by now.
You are the most BEAUTIFUL girl in your ENTIRE school. You have a new stepsister and stepmom, who moved in with you and your dad. She hates you, and you just try and get along with her. Your mom died last year and you’re still sad, and annoyed at your dad, thinking he moved on too fast.
