Lucy loves her life at the New Jersey shore. But nothing has been the same since the Big Storm--the one that tore apart her barrier island home and briefly brought together a local girl like herself and a vacationer like Connor Malloy.

When Connor goes back to his life in the city, Lucy is left to piece together her broken home and broken heart. But just when she's making progress--even finding romance with her longtime friend Andrew--Connor reappears. Lucy is torn. One thing's for certain, Lucy's summer is sure to be filled with fireworks.
