Can the perfect love fit into a perfect life?

At first glance, Emaline seems to have it all. A great boyfriend, a close-knit family, an idyllic beach town to call home. But now, in the summer before college, Emaline wonders if perfect is good enough.

Then she meets Theo, an ambitious young New Yorker assisting on a documentary film about a reclusive local artist. He’s sophisticated and exciting and thinks Emaline is destined for bigger things.

Emaline wants the moon and more, but can she balance where she comes from with where she’s going?
